Anyone tried swapping the shock adjustment between the 2 spots on a 2000MXZ700? Does it make a big difference?? What about the coupler blocks, didn''t really seem to make a huge difference.

I have cut my blocks at the seam, rear rubber stopper I should say and not the blocks. *For drag racing I uncouple the blocks and you can loosen the brass nut where the rubber stopper is and flip the rubber stopper over the towards the rear skid rail. *Hold on, you will probably have no ski pressure at all. * But for trail riding, I put my suspension on #3 with the blocks cut at the seam, coupled position, and the weight transfer is awesome, and the ride is great. *I have not moved the position off soft on the shock though. *I also weigh 180lbs.

My 02 800 was set up on the firm setting and I did change it to the soft position. *It does soften up the ride on the smaller studder bumps alot, my weight is about 200 suited up and the preload is set to #3 on the rear suspension and #2.5 for the front and I also let the limiter strap out 1 notch. *Makes a huge difference.

Thanks guys!! Kid R what do you mean by the seam?? Can you explain that a bit better? I WOULD like a bit better hole shot, it does spin quite a bit.

hey kid..what do you mean by putting your suspension at #3..what do u have your front/rear shock at..also what number are your front shocks at..and u ahve your rear/rear setting at the softest..im just tryin to find a good setup..im also about 180 lbs and ride fairly aggressive..thanks alot for the info

jerstilly, there are 4 postions the rear spring can be set at. *If you look at your clutch guard on top, it will show you which setting to set the *numbers at. * I use #2 or #3 depending upon the type of riding I will be doing. * If you are drag racing, go to the softest position. * Belleville MXZ, There are two rubber blocks on your rear skid, that are between the coupler blocks. *The rear, towards your mud flap/ snowflap, are the ones I am talking about. *If you look at the rubber stops closely, there is a seam about halfway on the block, that has a mold mark on it. *I take the rubber stoppers off, and cut them with a hacksaw at the seam, then I put them back on. * This takes off about 1/2" to 3/8" off the rubber stopper. * This allows the coupling block to go further back and give you more weight transfer.

belleville i got a 00 mxz and to get it to hook i went with 144
1-1/4 steel picks got the front shock all the way tight front strap 2 holes tighter rear springs tight (weigh 220 ) and blocks coupled and i dont spin abit in fact i heard the track rachet for the first time in 2 yrs and it was alittle snug anyways bcuz of havin studs. last weekend i was beating zr800s and xc 800s with my little 7 so give it a try juz a thought * *
