Flatlanding a stock summit and it should be bouncing off the rev limiter all day. (over 8200)

The clicker number is not weight, it changes the ramp angle, thus changing the rpm profile.

If your sled is completely stock you likely have the 16 gram solid pins.

If you are mostly going to ride flat land you might consider changing the clutching. Its not going to hurt riding it the way it is, but you are not gaining anything by going over 8000 on the trails.

Increase your clicker number and the rpm's will increase (about 150-200 rpm per clicker increase) you are at 7500, try going to #3 if you want 8000 and so on.

The less you hold the thumb flipper WOT the better it is on fuel!

you will likely be adjusting up to 4 or 5 in the hills

Ditto for your dealer, You should also keep an eye on your belt height on your secondary make sure it is sitting at the proper height or you will lose rpms my 2010 was horrible for maintaining belt height till I replaced the plastic adjuster with an aluminum one. If your belt height is good than use your clickers to get your 8200 rpm weather in mountains or home.

what is the proper belt hight supposed to be at? is it supossed to be flush with the top?

You want top of belt to be above the clutch shives, so that the valleys of the grooves in the belt are level to the clutch. But all belts are different lengths so Be carefull, when you get the belt this tight you could have a runaway, test it with a hand on the brake when you start it.

Track when elevated should just want to turn be itself when at idle, give it a little push with your hand and it'll move, but not squeeking sound from the belt and not spinning track quickly at idle.

As said above adjust your clickers, ensure all 3 are the same setting, 3 should work around your home, 5 for alpine and you'll be close to the magic number give or take. Put in a clutch kit if you want to reveal the sleds true potential, lots of good kits out there.
