    Have been trying to figure out the cause of loss of power kind of bogging down when climbing hills at a higher speed (over 80kms/hr) or when around the 110-120km mark on a straight stretch.

    Had the coils and spark plug wires checked fine . new spark plugs
    not sure where to start..

    other than that it runs great. lots of get up and go power initially.

    thanks... I finally figured it out.. was soooo simple.. the metal piece that connects the petcock to the fuel line came out when I was taking off tank. I added a sealer to the loose piece and voila.. no random hesitation. just did a 1000km trip and not one problem.
