A trail bike with 35hp SHOULD be pulling around 65-70mph. With any less top speed than that, you'd have too much power for the woods, especially with appropriate tires. For the majority of the time, 1st and 2nd would be useless. To put it in perspective, a 250R makes 28-30hp stock. That's a 70mph machine that does pretty well in the woods.
A 35hp Blaster should be hitting around 65-70mph for a good trail setup.
At the end of the day, I always find myself needing more power. 35 is nowhere enough for me. But hey, as long as we aren't buying, who are we to question?
so many things affect how much hp there is. like said above. why dont you get another set of stock gears and or try some different tire sizes
What pipe do you run?
I'm with herp on the tight trails thing. When you're having to feather the clutch to even stay running in trails, that's when you're tight.
My kinda trails are down shifting and riding on the side of the quad, not this sitting flat and going straight crap lol.
