I had a similar issue on our 00 400EX...It was running fine then while I was climbing a hill it began to seem to bog down/loose compression. Next thing it stopped running. Never could get it to start but it would turn over. The culprit.... the decompression plunger. It is located on the top where the cam is (the cylinder head). There is a little spring under the plunger. I removed the plunger & spring. Clean it with carb cleaner then put back in or I completely took out the plunger & spring put the cylinder head back on. If you have a CLYMER Manual it’s on page 81. I can’t say for sure this is the problem with yours but it’s not hard to access it & it doesn't take long to rule it out. Hope this helps.
