Scissor Stop Adjustment

Front Rear Scissor Stop (FRSS)

Rear Rear Scissor Stop (RRSS)

The front rear scissor stop (FRSS) controls the bump attitude of the rear suspension. As the front torque arm (FTA) hits the bump, it forces the rear scissor to collapse a predetermined amount, depending on the FRSS block position. This accomplishes two important things. First, it allows a lighter spring rate on the FTA because it can borrow spring rate from the rear torsion springs. Second, it prepares the rear portion of the suspension for the bump, reducing secondary kick back.

The FRSS is made of a resilient material allowing smooth action and preventing any suspension component damage. The RRSS controls weight transfer from the rear suspension to the skis. It also influences the stiffness of the ride by controlling the amount of coupling action between the front and rear torque arms. To decrease weight transfer, the RRSS should be set in the high position.

The RRSS can be removed for maximum weight transfer. However, unless the torsion springs and rear shock valving are changed, the ride will be compromised. Always maintain equal adjustment on both sides. The dot is an indicator of the HIGH position. The sides are the LOW position and the bottom is the MEDIUM position.
