I have a 2012 assault with the comp track on it, only mods done is a specialty sleds can. The first problem is that a handfull of times on wot pulls it revs right up to 8200 rpm then dies out on me for a second then comes right back too 8200 on the gauge. Could this be that I'm hitting the rev limiter and it's not saying that on the gauge or does it sound like something else like det? I've run 94 octane fuel in it from day 1 on premium plug. I have factory clutch weights in it still 62 gram I believe. It usually runs great but it has died out on me a few times when I really needed it to preform. I've been riding in revy at about 6000 to 8000 feet. Second problem is I have basically 0 weight transfer the skies are always planted my rear track shock is at 10 1/4 " and the front track shock is about 1/4 from being fully lengthened and the clickers in about mid range I weigh about 200lbs geared up. Any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks.
Love my assault but I'm having a few issues.... Please help

Sounds like you are hitting the Rev limiter. I would add 2 more grams of weight. The gauge can't keep up as quickly so you have to use the playback memory feature in the gauge.
I have a 163 RMK and the first couple trips out west the skis were always planted, couldn't get much ski lift. I tightened the front track shock up some and that helped a bunch. I have the rear track shock set for my weight setting according to the manual (170), just to the point where it doesn't bottom out. The shocks are different than the Assault but I would say to try tightening up the front track shock spring.

And don't forget that the clicker on the rear track shock can have a ton of effect on transfer. What I've done on my assault (front and rear) is to set the springs as they should be for my scrawny frame, then cranked in the clickers until I got the handling I wanted. No idea if that's the intent of how to tune the needle shocks, but it works for me.
Thanks guys. I put in 64 gram weights now and moved my suspension to to rmk hole, and set the rts to the recommended setting and compressed the fts to 1inch. I hope the does the trick, trying it out this weekend in golden !!!!! So pumped woooohooo
One inch on the fts is alot, atleast for me it was, i went 3/8". But moving the suspension to the rmk hole makes a world of difference.
