2018 mountain cat clutching for 9-10,000?

[CRJPilot]

Heading out next week for 5 days of riding in Cooke. First day will be breaking in the new motor, it comes clutched for 6000 to 8000 ft (70g). Should I leave it "as is stock" or should I drop down to 68 or 66g weights. Will be riding between 8500- 10,000. I am assuming my TEAM adjustable weights from 16 will work?

What adjustable weights do you have? Looking for the same setup for my 18 my cat.

I rode it with the stock weights at Cooke and mine pulled 8050 all day, everything was buttery smooth but I was going to try some MDS the next time I go and remove some weight and see where it takes me.

Stock

Been riding two mountain cats on Togwotee for the past two weeks. 8000-10,500 feet. Stock works great. Pulling 8050

Stock weights and spring still the ticket for 8 to 10 elevation?

I have installed a couple sets of the MDS weights with the recommended spring that Steve wants you to run and also a different helix. The stock sled is a ripper and pulls like a freight train, and am really pleased with it. 162" setup for 8500-10500.
The other set is on a sled with some mods and I cant comment quite yet on them because I have a few other things to get worked out yet on that sled before I can give any feedback.
I have installed a set of Dalton adjustables on a sled also for that elevation and they are working extremely well.
Have a set of SSI adjustables that are working extremely well also. SSI changed the bushings in the weights now and they are an improvement over the previous version. Order some new bushings from them to replace the old ones.
My theory on weights is if you are going to spend the money for them you might as well get a set of adjustables so you can ride different elevations or modify them for the snow conditions.
Last spring on the early builds we were running 68 gram weights and leaving everything else the factory. We were mainly riding 10K range. On one of the sleds we ground down a set of 68's a little bit to see how they would do a little above 10K and they were quite a bit better.
