I first want to thank everyone for sharing their wisdom. I've learned a lot reading over the past few weeks. I recently purchased a 2011 Z6. Love it. Already re-did the air intake. Anyways I ride from 5,000 feet up to 10,000 feet. I really want to maximize my low and mid range for the clutch. I usually don't go over 50. I'm used to a 2006 Polaris Sportsman 700. I know completely different machine. But just something to compare when it come to clutching. I basically want the power when I push the skinny pedal. Any suggestions? At the moment I'm just looking at clutch settings. Sliders are in the near distant future. Need to replace all oils and make a custom skid plate first. Stock tires for now. Also what size rod is used to make the clutch compressor? 3/8?
Again thank you all. So far love  the machine.

Sounds a lot like where I ride-from 5400-12000. One thing I want to say first is that...there is only so much power in any engine and the higher we go...the less we have. The only thing we can do is get it to run in the best RPM range for the best HP and or torque and run in a lower ratio...which reclocking will do. With that being said, and with some small additional weight such as these new skid plates and maybe some tires in the future, I suggest B2 on the secondary and 24-23 gram sliders for the primary...but those can wait for now. Just get it to B2 for now. As for the rod, yeah 3/8" is fine.

Good to have another Z6 in the group. I live in Colorado and spend all my time between 5,000 and and 11,000 ft. I have put a lot of extras on my rig so there is a good 150+ pounds added plus 27 in tires. I'm currently running the clutch at C1 with 23 gm slidders. My top speed is around 45-48 mph. This set up works really good in the mountains where I do most of my riding.
