Camber, Caster, Toe

[SRXSRULE]

14 Pro 800 155 all stock. Working on all my spring preloads and ride heights. Its been too much of a wheelie machine when climbing. I'm 180 Ready to ride so I'm putting everything back the factory spring installed lengths and starting over again.

I was getting ready to set the toe and was thinking about the caster/camber settings. What should they be? I know the caster is not adjustable with the stock a-arms but what about camber? Its about -2* right now. Eric

I measured 4 Deg. on Camber on mine...

I would think wheelie problems are more to deal with rear suspension set up.

I would first check that your limiter straps are where they are suppose to be and then, If you are transferring to much back to the back tighten the rear shock up a little. If the sled feels like their is not enough ski pressure you can loosen the front spring a little bit and add some ski pressure. Will also help with trenching.

I usually start with stock setups recommendations, and then adjust the front track shock first to where it's not letting me bottom out, while trying not to get it to tight that it just wants to trench. Then try and feel how the sled is transferring weight. Meaning does the sled just lift the ski when I hit WOT or does in stay pretty level. I like the suspension to transfer A little more to the back. Gives you a little lighter feel on the skis. But not so much that you have no ski pressure. Also a good gauge to go off on the rear spring in the rear sag. I usually run 2.5-3" of sag. I run all clicker shocks which allows me to run the springs at a lighter preload and then use the clickers to stiffen them up if needed.

After the rear feels good, then I set the preload and fine to the front shocks. I have always ran the fronts at minimum preload recommendations and then just fine tuned with the clicker.

I just read through the polaris procedure for setting camber....WOW, they made that way too complicated. Its measured in Inches, based off the position of a alignment bar placed in the ski mount bushing. Adjusting one side effect the reading on the other so you need to go back and forth adjusting. Why couldnt they just give a measurement in degrees measured off the side of the spindle.

I bought this sled last spring and was riding it in spring hardpack snow so I had everything changed around.

Put it all back the baseline settings today to see how it does. Just a reminder.....the limiter strap is not adjustable on a Pro rmk.

4 deg.. is taken off side of spindle!!

Turn to crank up the rear spring till you find your sweet spot!

I have found camber to be adjustable on my PRO. it just involves introducing the arm/ski/spindle to an immovable object. It is kind of a one time adjustment though.

I understand that....And I said mine was at -2*. Polaris DOESNT give a spec in degrees so this doesn't really tell us anything. That's my point.
