Can you elaborate about my three issues?

I appreciate your time on the forum and would prefer to calibrate my clutch with a kit like yours as opposed to a whole new system. Thanks.

Without the flyweights we have in this kit and the adjustability,we would need many different kits to cover the different applications that effect clutch calibration.Part of the reason it took so long to complete this kit was based on the amount of testing required to get flexibility.The nice part of this is that you do not need to wonder "if I bought the correct version".If you move to sea level,you adjust the same kit differently.

You have more than one of the things that could be helped by clutch calibration (calibration is more than anything else"changing the rate of upshift and backshift of the belt")

-High elevations. Even on fuel injected vehicles with altitude compensation,you are still at higher elevation and there is less oxygen present...so even if the Air/fuel ratio is corrected to maximize hp output,...there is less hp available...less air means less fuel = less hp.
Any time a hp change...you may want to consider the shift pattern...with less hp do you want to upshift the pulleys as quickly??...if you upshift as quick as you would at sea level,you may find lower rpm and less performance.You state that the machine seems underwhelming for a 1000 and that your rpm is low 6000's...power is better 68-7200 range for sure.
-SAND , Although the word Sand is sometimes a bit speculative because it is not always the same...sand in general is a power robber because of the much harder rolling resistance...shift pattern change could help right?

You didn't mention tires or mods,Other things like larger tire sizes ,etc effect final drive ratio,which require re-calibration to help recover some of the losses from that(losses from large heavy mud tires are huge). There is a full description in more detail in the kit, the set up guide,and the "overview of the model" included in the kit.

Thanks, thats exactly what I wanted to hear. Upshifting to quickly seems to be the problem mine is having. Thanks again, I'll be in touch.

Helix Thank you for your information on the clutchs, I will keep you in mind when I receive my Commander XT this fall.
