2006 switchback cuts out at full throttle

[jtmisgen]

My 2006 switchback 900 cuts out/bogs at full throttle. It won't do it all the time but more often than not. It has about 2k miles on it and haven't touched the motor. Anyone have possble causes for this? My thoughts are

1) the throttle body boots look cracked so maybe it's pulling in too much air, or

2) I haven't yet cleaned the exhaust valves

Thanks in advance for your help

your right on track...

replace boots anyways...you will burn that baby down if you dont from lean condition.

i would start with the exhuast valves, clean them, and inspect your bellows for ANY pin size holes

Thanks GuidoExpress! I see you are an avid participant in the 900 forums. It's good to have individuals willing to help others with their knowledge. I'll give these fixes a try and respond with my results.

How far down does it bog? Just wondering as I am having a similar WOT bog.

could be a bad stator

Do you know, Can the stator test fine but still cause issues?

unfortunately...YES they can..

My bog is similar to a fouled cylinder. Is this similar to what a bad stator would do?
