01 summit 800 with 166x15x2.4" Polaris track. 47x19 gearing. Pulls 8200rpm on the steep hills with 2' of fresh pow, but only pulls 40mph track speed. On the flat ground, groomed road, it will pull 49 mph. What do we need to do to get more track speed on the hills?

What is the condition of both clutches and engine? The 40 on a hill sounds typical but 49 on the flats seems off.
Is it holding 8000+ on the flats or does it drop rpm? What clicker is it on?
Stock engine? Miles? Compression?

Sorry, I thought I put this thread on the ZX forum.

The clutches were rebuilt fresh at the end of last season, (We had wound the spring in the secondary the wrong direction for a few rides last year before we figured it out) Both clutches are in stock form. I am guessing since it is on clicker 6, (I don't know why) that we will need to pull weight out when we put it on clicker 3?

Nothing beats Big Johns ZX clutch setup with a 156 track. That was the bomb. Perfection !
