I have ridden many long steep hills. At speeds above approx. 35 mph the
engine seems to "skip out" and slow the bike before revving hard again.I
found it smoother at times to simply shut off the spark and let the fuel
mix lube the cylinder unburned. This ,however, may lead to a gummy
buildup of soot in the first few inches of the now rapidly cooling
exhaust pipe.I have gone past the 40 mph marker on my speedo to where 50
might be if it were printed on the dial. Handling at this speed was
dangerously difficult with all the gear I had on board.It didn't sound
good for the engine and it was hard to control so I slowed down and
decided not to push it like that any more. bad skipping out and revving
cycling every few seconds above about 42 mph.sounded like an asyncronous
spark advance to me.
