Needing cvtech primary help!!

Hello all..new user..name is Jason..live in southeast florida. Long and short is I just picked up a 2011 outty max 800r. Did the normal services. My primary had broken weights..worn helix..dealer didnt have a new helix in stock so while I was waiting i ordered a cvtech primary. Got off ebay..explained to the guy what my bike is..it has 14in no limit rims and 30in mudda in laws. The tires are extremely heavy so he suggested the 3-4 oversized tires primary..just installed. Only removes the stroke limiter..tested movement b4 replacing belt box cover and was just tooling around the neighborhood breaking in a new belt. My engagement is 2600..shift out is 5500..also notice it's trying to shift from low to high..read up on that and I'll try removing shift linkage and see if it still does it. But my question is...unless I find someone willing to trade some 30in silverbacks straight up, I am stuck with the muddas for now. Dont get me wrong I love em, have them on a 500 vinson and long as it's in low they perform very well in the soup we ride in. Noticed in reverse with the 2600 stall I hit the rev limiter almost instantly. I messaged the guy I bought the primary from and he said that The spring was swapped to a 0951-1025 (400/1200 rate) vs. 0951-1017 (200/1600 rate) stock spring and that It uses the same 18g weights. What would be recommended for my ride. Only mods are snorkel extensions. Hmf muffler with quiet core(just installed the core) pc3 programer. Secondary is stock with a new 800 helix and a green/yellow spring..I did buy a stock secondary spring..any help would be greatly appreciated.

400/1200 will have a higher engagement/ lower shift out.
200/1600 will have lower engagement/ higher shift out.

I'd leave weights and put 200/1600 and try.

I think 1017 &18g is basic setup for trail machine.

Will the heavier stall effect my clutches in a negitive way vs being to light and slipping? I'd say I'm 50/50 trail and whatever mud or water I can find. I could get used to the higher stall if I had more rpms. Have been taking it easy since it's a new belt. Should I just get on it and hammer down and see what it does? Originally on the stall it was reverse that was bothering me. Buddy told me just to hit the override button. So if that's ok I'm fine with that. Guess maybe I should just order a couple primary springs and some weights. Should I keep the yellow/green secondary or give the black/yellow secondary spring a try?

Update!!!.. apparently a soft thumb while trying to break in a new belt was not helping. Havent got to do alot of testing yet since I can really RIP it up in my neighborhood. This is my first cvt bike, coming from a honda. Hitting it hard its shifting around 7500..the 2600 stall still may to much but as long as that heavy clunk I have wont hurt anything. Also the piping out of gear may just be my linkage being a tiny but bent. Previous owner rolled it per the bent handlebars. Took the linkage off and just hand shifted the lever off the tranny and she holds the gear. Wholy crap talk about hold on!!! I will try and get some ridding in today. Still think I may play with the springs and weight a tad.
