Up Hill Battle & Wheelies

[Pterodactyl_imp]

The torques there so the engines performing OK. If you can pop a wheelie so easily I don't think the bike "has an issue". Keep the revs up in second and it must be one steep hill if the revs drop off. Are you up around the 5000RPM mark when it starts to die off and stall? If you are tackling a steep gradient from less than 3500 then it is a technique you will have to change. Anticipate and get the revs up early. This engine, despite not having the neddies, should be able to pull pooh off a blanket if you keep the revs up. It is a different bike to your buddies so don't expect the same characteristics.
