Rode my D8 at Buffalo pass Saturday. Was really impressed with it. Last years sled was 700 Dragon. Engine is still pretty tight. Have 70 miles on it so far. My question is : How heavy of clutch weights in the primary? It has 60's in it now. I am only pulling 8050 rpm's. Will the engine free up some and give me more rpm's? My 07 Dragon is running 58's in the primary. Wondering if I need to drop down on the D8 to get to 8200 rpm. By the way sled handles and climbs well. Brother in law has 07 XRS and had no problem out doing him. Just wondering what everyone else is running for weights and what altitude. Buffalo is right @ 10,000 feet. Thanks

I would run it some more , rode mine 42 miles getting about the same rpms'
rode @6000' and have 163 track w/ 62's in primary.
Still have my 700 dragon, she only runs stronger after 400-500 miles.
Expecting the same from the 800.
