how many rpm's should a 400 turn, this thing bogs down on hills


i'm new to atv's

 

my 2003 big bear 400,according to the owners manual needs to be set at
1450-1550 rpm @ idle .i hope this helps but then again it might just be completely different from the kodiak.

 

did it help?let me know.

 

i just found out that the Kodiak 400 and the Big Bear 400 have different engines and cannot be compared .so don't go by what i told you.this is teaching me to keep my mouth shut about things i don't know nothing about.
i was just trying to help.sorry.

after some researching , calling the dealer and buying a repair manual online for my Big Bear i found out that the manual i received was for a Kodiak.what year is yours ? maybe i can help after all .
after contacting the seller i did get the right manual for the Big Bear .now i got two repair manuals for the price of one .
