LIMITED WARRANTY VALIDATION
Because of its racing application, the 2005 MX Z X 440 is shipped
from the factory with high compression ratio (CR) combustion cham-
ber inserts installed.
To validate limited warranty coverage and to run engine with 91 oc-
tane number gasoline (R + M)/2 inside North America (95 RON out-
side North America), the following modifications must be done at
predelivery before using the vehicle.
1. Low CR combustion chamber inserts must be installed on en-
gine. The high CR combustion chamber inserts must be returned
to BOMBARDIER Warranty Department.
2. Replace the main jets with the ones recommended in the Prede-
livery bulletin.
3. Replace the needle jets with the ones recommended in the Pre-
delivery bulletin.
4. Disconnect the pre-heat switch as explained in the Predelivery
bulletin.

Operator’s Guide (P/N 520 000 499) except for the following.
4) Brake/Parking Brake Pilot Lamp (Red)
This pilot lamp is disabled (does not light up) on the MX Z X 440.
WARNING
Make sure parking brake is fully disengaged before operating
the snowmobile.
When you ride the vehicle, brake that are caused to drag by
a continuous pressure on the lever may cause damage to the
brake system and cause loss of braking capacity and/or fire.

11) Tether Cord Cut-Out System
General
The tether cord cut-out system prevents snowmobile to runaway, if
the operator accidently falls off, by shutting off the engine.
WARNING
Always disconnect tether cord when leaving vehicle unattend-
ed and keep in a secured location.
Operation
Attach tether cord to clothing eyelet then snap tether cord cap over
post before starting engine.
To stop engine, completely pull cap from post.

60) Adjustable Suspensions
NOTE: There is no rear shock motion ratio adjustment on the
MX Z X 440.
In addition to all suspension adjustments described in ZX/REV Series
Operator’s Guide, take note of the 2 following points.
Shocks
All 4 shocks feature 2 adjustments.
Low Speed Compression Adjuster
The low speed adjuster modifies the damping force for small suspen-
sion velocities —less than 0.75 m/s (2.5 ft/s). It tunes the vehicle
for braking, cornering, hole shot and all the bumps that create low
speed movement in the suspension. This adjuster has 4 turns of
adjustment. Use a flat screwdriver to adjust it. Turning it clockwise
increases shock damping action (stiffer) for these low compression
speeds.
__________________________ 7

High Speed Compression Adjuster
The High speed adjuster modifies the damping force for high sus-
pension velocities —more than 0.5 m/s (1.6 ft/s). It tunes the ve-
hicle for hoops or bumps that create high speed movement in the
suspension. This adjuster has 3 turns of adjustment. Use a 17 mm
wrench to adjust it. Turning it clockwise increases shock damping
action (stiffer) for these high compression speeds.

2. High speed compression adjuster (17 mm wrench)
Center and Front Springs
CAUTION: Make sure that center spring and both front springs
are still preloaded when front of vehicle is off the ground. Max-
imum spring preload is 25 mm (1 in). Otherwise, spring will be
coil bound when fully compressed.
61) Primer Button
Pull and push button. It is not necessary when engine is warm.
To prime, activate button until a pumping resistance is felt. From
this point, pump 2 or 3 times to inject fuel in intake manifold. After
priming, ensure that primer button is pushed back.
NOTE: In very cold temperature, it is recommended to rotate primer
button 3-4 turns prior to pull it. This will eliminate the possibility of
sticking.
