You could just change your rollers in the clutch to change your torque curve, I have them on my 1000 and they are great off road, on road they over steer and in the corners at high speed .

I have them on my 07 650 the weight hasn't been a problem.

It depends on your size. If you are going 28 inch or bigger weight is a huge concern, stock replacement size is less of a concern. I am going 28 or 29 inch so I am staying as light as possible but I am still clutching it a little.

I should add I am thinking of Zillas or Mud Lites. Staying well under the 50 lb a tire limit I am strictly enforcing on myself. Easier on bearings, gear ratio, shocks, steering etc. If I break an axle I will upgrade but I service my bike top to bottom and do not drive like its stolen.

I'm still running the stock size, if were to get larger I would have to take your advice and check into clutch work.

I switched to STI Roctanes the lightest 8 ply tire I could find. Got tired of the Big Horns sliding out in the rear at speed!

I have tried Zillas and Mud lites tires, both of them are good atv and utv tires. They are inexpensive but reliable tires. The thing is that you should avoid getting to large tires. If ever you upgrade the size make sure to get next bigger size from stock size to avoid additional wear and tear to your transmission and clutch.
