i was trying to figure how to get some bottom end out of my 99 sx 700 it has been extended to 136 inch track with inch and half paddle track but seems to have trouble lifting the skis and isn't reral good of the line
 

Have messed with the gearing, I'm sure you could drop at least a tooth. Which would definately help your low end. Soc
 
Adjust your t-rods, and the rest of your suspension as well. Doesnt take much power to lift the skis up if your setup for transfer.
 
Lifting the skis is a bad thing on yamaha's, as soon as the skis come up you LOOSE traction. Lifting skis way up is an Arctic cat thing, which is why cays don't corner well.
 
Like Sockeyerun said, drop at least 1 tooth on the top gear, maybe 2. When I went to a 136 on an XTC I had, Hartman Inc suggested getting as close to a 2.0 gear ratio as you can (using the stock 9 tooth drivers).
