Hello everyone. I purchased a 2015 VK Pro this year in new condition. I've never owned a snowmobile with an articulating rear suspension. When I back up it seems to me that the articulating part is too stiff and the machine wants to dig too much. Can anyone offer advice if the rear articulating part can be adjusted and how. I've noticed that there is 2 springs with adjusting nuts one on each side of the track. I don't think they've ever been adjusted as the bolt ends are flush with the top of the adjusting nuts. Thank you.

You wouldn't be the first person to have wondered about this. Check online for a youtube video or get a manual. Info has got to be somewhere.

it's in your owners manual, the more you tighten the bolts makes the flip stay straight more track on the ground and if you slacken less track on the ground I suspect that your track is too tight! Dealers make this adjustment way too tight! Making the flip basically useless or less effective! Cheers!
