Planning on riding in the UP this winter and am looking for some clutching setup opinions. I have a 12 ProRMK800 155. It's currently clutched for high elevation in Colorado. Any ideas on what I should buy for spring/weights? Thanks in advance.

This setup should be ok for you.....

120-310 / 10-66 in the primary
64/42/36 helix , blue/black sec spring

What gearing do you currently have?

Stock clutching is pretty dam good on that sled! Both my 2012 and now my 2013 get a set of OEM 68's and away I go!

If your clutching is all stock with just high elevation weights, the easiest thing to do is just throw in 10-68 weights and go. If its got a clutch kit in it already you should post up what it has so you can get some better recommendations.
If stock, you'll want to use 68g weights, anything less and you'll bounce off the rev limiter and go into limp mode...

I forget the numbers I have in it. Ordered it from the dealer with the highest elevation kit and they put it in before I picked it up. 10-60 sticks in my mind for some reason. Anyone know what the stock weights are?
Thank you for the info!

They come from the factory with 10-62's. If you had your dealer set you up for Colorado, you almost certainly have 10-60's if they followed their manual. Throw in 10-68's and you'll be just fine.

Not to steal the thread here but I'm interested to see if any of you guys have clutching ideas for a 900 switchback? I'm mainly on the trails but get off whenever my 121 buddies aren't around

My buddy had a Carls 975 big bore and he ran 11-74's around Michigan. Not sure on helix and springs though.

I agree with the 10-68's here. If the rest of you're clutching is stock. And assuming stock motor, pipe, heads etc.
