I have a 2019 Zforce 800EX and I'm about to install a 2" lift and 29" tires.  I'm new to the UTV game and started seeing posts about people re-clocking their clutch when upgrading tire size.  Just wanted to verify a post I found while searching because it was from 2016...Would the B2 setting and 23g sliders be optimal for this set-up?  I honestly don't even know how to make those changes, but that's something I can research further.  Just want to know what setting I should use and which sliders to go with.  For that matter, is it even necessary?  Am I really going to lose a ton of acceleration with 29" tires? Thanks in advance.

Well, going to 29s puts the stock setting of B1 out of it's range. C1 would be OK but B2 is probably the best spot for the secondary. However..unless you live and ride at 5000 feet and higher, I think you probably should go with 24 gram sliders instead to keep the top end and back shift. We have videos on the R&R and reclocking in our How To section so don't sweat it.

Thanks for the reply.  I'm usually below 2000 ft elevation everywhere I ride.  So just to clarify,  are you suggesting keeping the stock clocking and just using 24 gram sliders?

No..not al all. Do at least the B2. The 24gram sliders are optional but will be a noticeable improvement.
