Losing power at top of hill
It's happened about three times since I've owned the bike. It happened today. I was riding and powering up a long 300 yd+ hill, pretty steep, in first gear. At about the top of the hill the bike wants to quit. It would be the same sensation if you were on a 2-stroke and needed to rev it up. I have an MBRP slip-on, a UNI filter in the stock airbox, 185 DYNO jet main, needle is on 2nd clip with all spacers underneath. Anybody have any other ideas? Once I get to the top, the bike is just fine no hesitation at all.

the stock carb has a small gas bowl if the floats are off alittle you could lose power. what would happen to me was i would hold it wide open long enough that the carb just could'nt keep up!! a 45mm carb took care of that problem. the carb on the ds is a street bike carb by design not always up to the abuse of an atv[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

If you are starving for power in first or second gear, you are most likely tooo lean. Jump to the DJ 190 with the clip in spot 3 or 4. If you're at a low elevation and your airbox is open, don't be afraid of the DJ 195, as it is very useable.
It could be something else, but low power in low gears on hill climbs is normally a prime indicator of lean.

Had a simular problem when I first got my DS, ended up being the Float adjustment. I first played with the jetting and needle setting but the float is what fixed it. felt like I was choaking the thing when I got to the point I really needed power, once you lost RPM's it was impossible to recover. Smaller hills and flats were fine.
Good luck, don't give up. There great quads[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
