Suspension + clutch setup on 12 assault.

[cbc24]

Hey guys so i purchased a new last yr model 12 assault 155 this year. I got 450 miles on it this season and gotta say im dissapointed with how it pulls. What suspension setup would you recommend doing to get the front end too lift a bit more? Aswell it seems whereever i ride i can never get it to pull well, Kakwa park @ 4500 ft i was hitting 8150 rpm and in valemount @6000ft i was only hitting 8050, around home which is 1800 ft i hit 8450. I got it all stock except for a ggb can, im wondering what weights and spring kit would work the best.

And one last question! which track would you think is the best all around? 5.1, new power claw or new camoplast track? enemine minemo Thanks

The Polaris weight recommendations have been bang on for me.
62gram weight for 6-8000ft ran very well for me last year

Most people are trying to keep the front end down on Assaults. Increase preload on the center shock, decrease preload and/or compression damping on rear shock. One at a time, small increments.

Pretty sure your suggestions are exactly opposite of what works to keep the front end down.

I might be wrong im not a mechanic but 8450 rpms seems pretty high from what i have seen other people posting.

Haha... Yeah, I missed putting a transition between what most people want and what he could do to get what he wants, which is opposite of the mainstream desire.

Here's some good clutching info from my '12 Assault

also, if you want to wheelie more, keep the front bolts of your rear suspension mounted in the lower assault hole (in case you relocated it to the RMK location), turn up FTS preload, turn down RTS preload for more transfer.
