My friend has a 2000 v max deluxe 500. i was riding it through the trails in upper wisconsin and it drove FINE!!!! When I hit the UP trails, I tried to keep it at a constant 55-60MPH... keeping the throttle around 3/4 and going around 55 to 60, the rpms gradually dropped and the speed dropped and I was STILL on the throttle 3/4 throttle and the sled was doing 30MPH!!! it would ONLY HAPPEN after around 30 seconds of 3/4 throttle and it KEPT doing it IN THE U.P. (straight trails).. I changed the belt and it STILL DiD IT.. WHATS UP WITH THAT???? is it clutching?????

Did it eventually clean up? Sounds like a stuck float on one carb doggin out the motor and running on one for a while.
