i have a 97 bigbear 350 4x4 and im having some problems, when the bike is running at higher rpms it will loose most of its power and sputter and the bike will barley go anywhere, once you let the bike idle for a min or soo it will go away and it will work fine again,do you guys no the problem? this happens in some tricky places" hills,mud etc" and i would like to get it fixed!

I would start by cleaning the carb,,,main jet ,,,maybe pull the float bowl off..thats where the main jet would be,,,air filter clean? is it blowing black smoke,,,,start with the basics

check the air intake from the carb to the cylinder, they are famous for that...also as medler says...check the carb, clean the needle and seat in the carb, lube your cables.. if its high reving it could be running lean...ie boot intake leak...?
