cluthing and elevation

[Fasterblaster]

Can someone please explain why you need to change your clutch settings for various riding elevations??? I don't understand why it matters.

When you get into higher elevations the air is thinner, thus the engine makes less horsepower so it can not spin as much weight.

Well that makes sense. I was thinking of the clutch and springs and trying to figure out what the h... air density had to do with those components. Thanks
