Default up hill drag rasing

ok I have a bunce of family and other ridding buddys that drag up this coal hill on 450's and 400's and i want to join in (I can hold my own with the z/kfx 400's on flat ground) but i cant even make it up this hill on my P650. I have the black spring, dyna cdi and 26 in mudlites and have enough room to hit the hill at 32-34 mph in 4x4 but by the time im half way up i have to do a u turn because ive lost all my speed and the front end is getting light on me.... please help me climb this hill, i really dont want to put out the $$$ for a BB kit so what else can i do to get me up the hill? thanks..

You should be able to hit 30mph in low range. The 650 will have the power to pull the hill in low range.

operator error. that 650 has plenty of power to make the hill, unless its sand, and you have road tires on it!

Not making it up the hill??? Just rode 150 miles yesterday on my stock BF 650 with stock Dunflop bias ply tires and was overtaking my buddy on his Polaris 500 all day long up steep sandy grades, steep rocky grades, steep semi-muddy grades, etc. Look for my full write up on the impressions of my 150 mile adventure yesterday.

Where is the hill you are talking about? Where do you ride in Ky??? We are going to Harlan County to ride in May. Anyone been there?

I live in martin CO and ride in the martin co/pike co area, dont really get to travel to ride as i work 6 days a week most of the time.... some of you say hold wot on the hill.. I do,, I hold wot from the time i take off to hit it all the way untill im forsed to U turn. its like the grade is to steep for the heavy atv to hold its speed.. by the time i turn my front end is lifting up and down....
