Right On. Maybe a little different gearing could help out? To fine tune your final drive is sometimes impossible. I set up the bike for each riding location with carburetor slide/needle, and final drive.

Also, you may need to adjust your jetting for different altitudes.

A decent cruizing speed in the desert is going to make it harder to do a huge hill climb in a mountainous situation. And vice a versa.

I usually buy a few sprockets and chains and fool around till i find what-works-where. -BIG DAN:thumb:


Edit- I've seen people on 250s get alot further up hill climbs than me on the 5hundo. Proper set-up is key.
