Hey guys.

Well, just this weekend, I found out I have some fun little powerline hills by my house I can ride on. Nothing crazy or super steep, but they're alright.

Well, theres this one hill on the right thats just straight up, and not too steep. I'll hit it in 3rd gear, and when I get close to the top it starts lugging and I either have to downshift or just clutch a tee bit.

My dads banshee, he was actually upshifting the whole way up.

Now I know they are two completely different quads, but I would think the 400 would have enough mid-range to finish the job.

Now, would this be normal, or is mine maybe tired? Idles great, runs great, and doesnt smoke.

The hill isnt steep but pretty long.

stock.

I figured also maybe im not hitting it quite high enough in 3rd gear, but idk. In a couple ways I kinda hope it needs a rebuild so I have a reason to get high-compression with a cam.

Maybe its not tired though. Ill have to try and get more speed to see what happens.
