Looking for some input here gang so I'm throwing this out to the collective.
Sled is an 01 Summit 700, 2 x 15 x 144 track, no engine mods but an after market can (SS ?) and reed spacers. I added MaddStadd pivot and risers (7 inches) last year.
I’m slapping some used Simmons Gen 1 skis on there (Thanks KAWGRN ) and I ride at around 5000-8000 ft with a 50/50 mix of trail and boon docking, I weigh in at around 210 lbs pack on and ready to ride. I am hoping for more boon docking and general Mtn riding this year and ride in central Oregon.
Still on the to-do list:
Pull the sway bars.
Mount the Simmons.
Possibly punching the track to lighten the track and improve snow elimination.
Clutching: I have cleaned the primary and am waiting on some buttons to arrive to reassemble, I have a new purple/yellow stock spring to go in there as that’s what came out of it…the new one is ½ in longer than the very tired original spring from 01 that I pulled out btw. I have also cleaned the secondary and replaced its spring (Beige) and slider(s), polished the ramps on the helix (47 deg) and am ready to slap it back on but I’m considering upgrading to a TEAM secondary…good idea? Is the TEAM really going to be that much better? (either finding a TSS 98 or 04, what helix and springs btw?).
Gearing is 21/43 and I’m thinking of going 20/43 to improve low and mid speed throttle control and ability to feather power in mid ranges as last year my power delivery was kind of off or haulin butt and pullin hard.
I am also looking at snow eliminators and would love a better (taller) seat but the piggy bank just aint that full.
So, TEAM secondary, is it a good idea? or just hang with the cleaned up stocker and put the money into other improvements (like snow elliminators, Mtn bars, Lefty throttle, ect...
Thanks for the ideas
