REAR SUSPENSION SPRING SELECTION CHART

Below is a list of rear suspension springs and specifi-
cations. This chart was compiled to assist technicians
in fine-tuning the Arctic Cat rear suspension when the
original springs are not satisfactory and a softer or
firmer ride is desired.

A longer spring in areas (D) and (E) can be selected if
cut off to match the original spring. The replacement
spring must match the original spring in areas (D) and
(E).

0730-218

          *Long leg of spring is bent inward          **Short leg of spring is bent inward          ***Must be cut to correct length          ****Square wire

„

NOTE: The wire diameter and length of the spring have a large influence over the valving of the shocks.
