suspension question

I have a 2002 arctic cat sno pro and there are some link bars connecting the lower shock mount to the upper shock mount and it has tons of holes for different adustments. What can you adjust it for? Please help me, thanks.

if you want to change the ride move the entire rear swing arm back or forward. those bars are just for stablization of the shox.

at one end of the shox stabilizer bars, there are two holes. In the upper hole it will be softer than in the lower hole. then chamge the swing arms to the more upright setting for a stiffer ride also,the more slant degrees you have on the arm, the softer the ride.

The higher holes will give a softer ride. You are changing the shock perload here.

to stiffen the ride, move the rear swing arm to the most vertical setting you can get. that may be stiff enough.

move the rear swing arm back, and set your pre load to the 3 setting.
