Default Slider weight??

I have a 150cc Carter Talon. Runs good on flat surfaces but doesn't have enough torque to start up an incline from a dead stop. I want to change sliders to get more hill climbing ability. To climb a slope now I have to get a running start. What weight sliders is best - 10g? 9g? 8g? I plan to keep the clutch and other drive train components stock and realize that I will sacrifice top end speed, but this is less important to me than climbing ability due to the land I have to ride on. Please advise me as to the best options. Thanks for your help.

On second thought, how much an incline should a good condition 150cc Talon be able to climb from stand still? Could it be that my Talon has worn components so that all that is needed is restore the drive train to stock conditions? Or do I really need to change to lighter slider weight to get adequate climbing ability? If so what weight should I go to?
