I have an 03 zx adrenaline 700 and I put a 144 2inch under it is it worth changing over all steering and suspension parts over to a summit and if so should i ditch the stock skid for a summit skid is there that much of a differece? Or am I just beating a dead horse?

I have had it a 144 for 4 years now took it to idaho last 2 years doing mostly boondocking thats why i like the144 so much, everyone i ride with run mostly f7 cats 2 m8 151 and a rev 151 800 obviously a little slow keeping up going up! but alot of my problem i think is i cant fly the skis. I also ride 2 times a year in u.p mich and when i can here in minnesota just swap out 2in for 1.25

Being from Flatlanderville, I'd go with a nice handle bar riser and higher gear ratio and MBRP trail can and call it good. May need a bit less angle or single angle in the helix when heading to Idaho.

I have a 2in pivot rox rises and a 4in fabcraft bar, precision can,diffrent helix and a clutch kit in the primary, 800 reed cages and the motor has a 600h.o botom end and 700 cylinders and pistons. I copied the geaaring from a summit of that year. it just won't float the skis. Maybe the rear isn't set right? I'm 5'11 210?

sound like quite the collection of components. I woulddial in more preload pressure on the front rear spring and turn the torsion spring adjuster block to a softer setting and let out the limited strap. dial out a bit of preload on the front shocks.

Yup... bang on... loosen limiter strap... I think the rear shock/spring is ok... especially if you are pushing 210 without the gear. Loosen the limiter strap bolt by about 1" and that will help lift the skis off a bit... you don't want the skis more than 4-6" off the ground otherwise you will be losing the benefit of more lugs being on the snow which equals more stucks!!!
