Pro RMK Skid in IQ settings

[jman94]

So, I put a Pro RMK skid under my 2008 700 RMK at the start of the season. So far, I like it, but I'm not set on the idea that it makes the sled preform that much better than stock. I have tinkered with the settings a little with the advice from a thread in the Pro section. Still havent found a real "WOW this sled rocks" set up yet. Has anyone found that "sweet spot" of where the IQ chassis likes the PRO skid to be set at?

Some info... Around 6 foot tall, 200-225LB rider with gear. I ride in the Cascade concrete usually, almost never have light fluffy powder.

Have you had the shocks revalved? If not, then that's what you're missing. It's a big difference.

Holz or Carls.

I have not revalved them, don't want my sled down for a couple weeks mid season:/ but I plan to after the season is over, any suggestions for how to have them revalved?

I had the same setup. 2008 700, 2012 pro skid. It was an instant noticeable upgrade but if you're riding wet snow that track is whats holding you back. Put a Camo CE 2.5 on there and it will be a huge improvement.

The previous owner said he put a Pro RMK track under it last year. Is there any difference between my stock 08 track and a '13 track? Also, does the 2.5 CE require new drivers with a drop n roll, or does it just trade out? And will my little 700 be able to turn that 2.5"?

That little motor will spin a 2.5 camo no problem.

no problem at all. the 13' track is better than the 08' but no where near the ce in the concrete.

Tuned the suspension a little Saturday... Put more preload on both the rear and front track shocks. I like it a lot better now, skis come up and it rolls over a little better on the steep side hills. No trenching problems, though it still seems like I have to jerk it around a lot more than the other guys I rode with who were on M's... Would taking the swaybar out help this?

Also, the track did just fine in the concrete, plenty of grip in the set up snow.
