How to raise the suspension in a snowmobile Taiga 500 is not known to everyone who has such equipment on the farm. There is nothing complicated in this, more experienced comrades share their experience with pleasure.

Everyone knows about the presence of suspensions in snowmobiles, but for beginners who are not familiar with equipment in general, it is not clear why they are needed. Suspension of a snowmobile Taiga performs several important functions, including contributing to a softer gliding of skis on the snow cover.
Role of rear suspension in snowmobile movement
The rear suspension of the Taiga snowmobile, as with other models of snowmobiles, is of great importance. For the normal movement of equipment in the snow, it is necessary that this spare part is ideally suited in all respects.
The pendant is as if divided into two parts:
- the front part helps to distribute the pressure between the track and the skis more evenly;
- the rear one dampens blows when traveling over rough terrain.
It often happens that these two parts are interconnected for more comfortable movement and better distribution of weight on the snowmobile.
Reasons why the suspension needs refinement or replacement
There are many reasons to replace or upgrade the suspension at the rear of the snowmobile. We must start with the fact that there are two types of suspensions, each of which will require its own tuning. Each of the varieties serves to perform certain functions and is applied to a specific type of vehicle.
| rear suspension type | what snowmobile is suitable |
| related | for sporting options and carrying large loads over long distances |
| unrelated | for deep snow and long tracked vehicles |
Modify or raise, as well as replace the suspension is necessary if it does not cope with the duties assigned to it.
You can notice this when moving on the technique:
- smoothness is broken;
- riding back is difficult;
- weight distribution does not occur evenly;
- with significant snow cover, the snowmobile significantly slows down and begins to move in jumps.
If your snowmobile has at least one of the above malfunctions, then the suspension must be raised or simply replaced with a more suitable one.
What is a Taiga 500 Snowmobile Belt Stop
Sometimes in workshops, more experienced comrades when examining a vehicle of this type say that it is necessary to put in order the tape stop. And what is it and what is it for?
The limiter controls the uniform distribution of weight on the snowmobile when driving. If this part of the suspension fails or performs its function poorly, the frame and internal parts of the equipment will suffer.
