Suspension Adjustment

[Rob VanSydenborgh]

I think my suspension on my 02 Viper needs to be adjusted but I am new to this suspension as it is my first Yamaha. When sitting on a flat surface the back of the track sits slightly up, almost off the ground, so all the weight is on the front of the suspension. I think the sliders are even wearing more at front than at back. The sled even seems to be alittle loose on the back end when in loose snow on the trails. How can this be adjusted so it sits flat or perhaps even a bit up at the front?
Thanks, Rob

Thanks stein700sx. I will try to read thru this while looking at my suspension so I can understand how it works. Seems more complex than my Polaris!

I had a lot of problems with my skids too. I have 2 new to me vipers. If you dont have a manual get one, also ask lots of questions. It took me most of this season to dial them in but today was worth it. I started from scratch. Took them back to stock settings except ran the limiters at 10MM bolt showing. Make sure your transfer rod gaps are 50/50 when sitting on it. I also did the ski bumper shim and man what a diff. No darting, rides like a new machine.

Thanks all. Would like it if some one had a labelled diagram of the skid so I can identify the parts easier.
