I had a x that had that same problem i was in little sahara utah goin up sand mountain when it would catch and slow me down like i was hittin the brakes it ended up bein my carrier if i were u though if it is ur carrier go onto ebay and buy a aftermarket carrier because u can get some that have a greese zerk and diferent nice stuff to help it last longer for half the price honda price was $200 and i got this carrier for $100

problem is simple....your chain is too tight...causing it to bind up....loosen your chain and that should fix your problem, same thing happend to me...felt like i was hitting the brakes or the brakes were rubbing....its just your chain is too tight...if thats not it....then go get you a rad mfg bearing carrier...twin row, best thing i have on my 400ex so far
