How do I get lower gearing?

I had the same problem with my 2018 Kodiak and wanted a slower speed like you. I added a 4 shims(1mm) to the clutch and got down to 3 km/h with little throttle pressure. It worked great but found it a bit too slow....so this year I pulled out 1 shim and now at a total of 0.75mm shim stock installed. I run at 4 km/h now which works for me. Adding a couple of shims is the cheapest and easiest way to get some results without spending a bunch of money. See my post below.
