I have a 2005 M6 that runs great the first day and starts running worst the next day. It cuts-out (for lack of a better term) not a bog. Mostly when I'm hill climbing at first then eventually down the trail. Every day it gets worst. Last year I put a temperature sensor in it, had a code for this. I've cleaned the power valves. New plugs. No computer codes. There is some condensation moisture in the air box. Mostly powder riding 8-10K feet. Anybody have any ideas or suggestions?

Air filter foam could be getting plugged with snow and ice or you need iso. in the fuel.

Thanks for the suggestion, but we've been running iso in the fuel and the air box didn't seem to be plugged with powder.

Try checking for moisture in the electrical conections.

TPS or kill switch? - I believe you can try to unplug the kill switch and see if this helps.

Are you sure that the snow vapor is not melting and pooling in the intake after a period of riding and stopping. Then as you head up the slope it is more likely to be ingested. I am convinced my M1000 is doing this. I am still investigating the issue.

Thanks for the suggestion Kelso.

We will try the kill switch.

If the TPS is bad or causing problems would it flash a code?

Thanks,

We were wondering the same thing, because there was some moisture in the airbox and the more consecutive days we rode the worse it got. The more the nose was inclined up hill it seemed to happen more often.

Thanks
Let me know if you get any more indication this is the problem.
