Lossing RPM's on 04 800

[WYrider]

I replaced a belt last time I went riding (started pulling the string out). The new belt squilled and wanted to engage at idle. I loosened the secondary and fixed that problem. Now I notice I am still getting 8000 rpm's on the flats, But when going up a powder covered hill it will kick me down to around 7200. Samething when carving. I put the secondary back to where it was squilling and tryed it and got the same rpm's. Any ideas?

Thanks,

How many miles on the original primary? Mine did that and I had to replace the moveable sheave and the spring cap---bushings worn on both.

I ended up rebuilding the primary with 417 ramps, 260/350 spring---has D^Js kit and it keeps up with an 07 and 08 XP---gets12-14 mpgs as well with a stock 800 x 151 at 10,000'.

I was planning on cleaning the clutches anyways. I took it off and am not sure how to take it apart. Not like the polaris clutches I have taken apart.
Any help with that?

Thanks,
