I've been doing some mountain / twistie riding on my CB and there are a few stretches of road that are really steep. I noticed the bike has no power going up hill unless I am in 1st or 2nd gear. I was in 3rd and I lost so much power I had to down shift to keep from stalling. Has anyone else had this issue? My buddy rides a dual sport and he zipped up the hill in 3rd no problem. I had to keep down shifting ended up in 2nd the whole hill. This is super steep too.
I also figured out in first if I give it gas (4k rpm), back off then give it more gas right away the front end comes right up!!! With this much torque to pop a wheelies how is going up steep hills so difficult on the engine?
