No problems here. I live in Colorado and ride in WY too. This thing is stock and like a mountain goat, but so was the my P400. What type of problem are you having?

No problems here in Utah. Most of my riding is in the mountains around 7000-11000 ft.
You definetly have to re-jet your machine but it rides real nice after that.

Only problem I've had is: The hillclimbs weren't long enough!!!!!
Specificly, what do you want to know? I have found the P-650 to be very stable on hillsides. It is a very predictable handler WHEN equipped with good tires. It has a VERY LOW C.G.

My only problem with the 650 on a mountain trail is "slow people in front of me, that won't pull over". Especially those slow dinosaur Raptors running nitrous...they are always causing backups on the trail. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Cedar City.... what a great place. We often go to Brianhead and love to drop in to Cedar City.

Do you reccomend the snorkel? how does it install?
