I'm having a similar issue with my Axis 500.  It seems to bog down and struggle, particularly on inclines/hills (see video).  Frustratingly, it also only happens intermittently, more often when the machine has been running for a while (I use it for farm work only).  So far I have:

1. Replaced fuel filter
2. Replaced fuel injector
3. Replaced MAP sensor (reset ECU after)
4. Replaced spark plug
5. Verified air filter is clean
6. Verified no obstructions in exhaust
7. I only run it on 91+ gas and put a can of seafoam through it to no avail

I did previously have an issue with a failed one-way bearing, but this particular issue predates that failure.  I replaced the one-way bearing a few months ago and inspected the wet clutch, primary/secondary clutches and belt while I was in there-didn't see anything of concern.  Where do I go from here?

I installed this yesterday and yes, the universal mount is a total pain.  As plowdaddy said the slots to receive the U-bolts are off just enough that the bolts don't sit properly.  I basically forced it on but now that the plate is installed I've noticed my turning radius is now restricted-I can't make sharp turns without rubbing up against the mounting plate because it's so wide.  Anyone have success?  Debating whether I should just spend the money for a new plate or try extensively modifying the universal one...
