2003 Honda Rincon Need Help

purchased a 2003 Honda Rincon from a couple that used it on there farm. They told me that it jumped timing. When I took it apart I seen that the timing chain guide arm had broke and the bike did jump timing. I replaced the guide rail, timing chain, oil pump chain, and seal on oil pump. Bike starts up and runs fine. The issue I am having is when I have it in Auto and throttle down on it, it boggs down. It doesn’t shift from first to second unless I ease of of the throttle, and same thing for third gear. It also takes a sec for it to shift into second. I have to get up to about 18mph before it shifts out of first into second. ESP works fine as far as shifting, but when I throttle down in ESP mode I cant get over 40mph? Its like the Rincon is bogging down when I give it a good bit of throttle. It should go over 40mph correct? I have a Rubicon and never had an issue like this. I am new to Rincons. Has anyone else had this problem with there Rincon?

97 trx 300 fw swingarm bearing replacment

well after i discovered my rear swing arm was bent I decided to replace it and not try to fix it. $30 on ebay.

it is in the mail and will have it on friday. with that being said I also ordered a new set of swing arm bearings. Plan is to replace the bearings in the new swing arm for good measure.

I have the old swing arm and am tring to figure out how to get the old bearings out. I know i need to do it to the new arm so might as well try on the old arm first so if i screw it up it is not a big deal. I looked on youtube one guy welded the race and it "popped" out. not too sure of this method. I do have a wire welder if that is the only way. but there must be a better way of doing this? what tools do i need to to this job right? and what have you guys done to tackle this job.

thanks
