on the way down, this hill was seriously steep, dosn't look like it in the photo but it was steep enough for me to not be able to get up even in low range

Where was this dan ?
Your quad probably isn't geared for steep terrain, I went quad biking at a place by Neath in s/ Wales and the Honda quads would breeze up any hill without trying, they were so torquey, they just didn't stop .
Good pics btw

What do you mean when you say it wouldn't get up the hill. Lack of power or lack of traction?

its an CVT auto, i think the belt was slipping going to look at it and see what was up with it. its a 320cc single, but i think its still party restricted going to have a tinker when i look at the belt.

it was getting up the hill fine but then the belt would slip and the engine would bog down, i dont know.. it has some problem some where just not sure where yet lol

cheers for the comments, the photo's were taken by the GF using a nikon d5000 with kit lens

PS i would rather a geared quad but mum n dad want the ease of auto
