Sounds like a clutching preference to me. Maybe the 800 owners will chime in on this too. If you don't like the way it's clutched, you do have some options. There is a wet clutch in there. It engages it two stages at set RPMs. If your a big dude, carrying a passenger or anything else that makes it heavier, you can set the secondary spring heavier to make it go into a lower gear faster to avoid bogging. You can also use lighter weight rollers in the primary to increase RPM the cvt goes through its range.
