Where is the fuel filter located? I am going to take it out and replace.
How do I by pass the Tor’s feature?
Where are the bowls on the carbs to check for water?
After I start to take off full throttle the sled grabs goes for a second and then dies for second and then the power is back. This never happens when I am cruising at higher speeds and crack on it all the way.
I am going to try the 3 things above myself. If this does not work I will bring it the dealer and have them take a look.
This problem I am having is from a previous post

Fuel filter is inside the fuel tank, it is hanging on the end of the fuel line so you need to use something to fish the line out through the filler neck and change the filter.
To bypass the tors, find the two wires going to the sensor just below the idle adjustment on the carb rack. Disconnect the two wires, and plug them back into each other.
The float bowls are on the bottoms of the carbs. You need to pull the airbox and remove the carbs to get to them to drain them. There are four phillips head screws on the bottom of each carb holding the bowls on. Remove them and the fuel in the bowls will dump out. While you are in there remove the main jet and pilot jet in each carbs and clean them with some carb cleaner, then blow them out with compressed air. Make sure you can see through them in the light. Hope that helps

This does help thanks. I hope one of these is the problem
What is your issue? Are you bogging with no power?
I had that issue at the Muni ride. The sled started rite up and idled fine but when I gave it the gas it bogged bad at 3 to 4K. Checked bowls, carbs, TORS, etc.
Put it back together and it ran fine for about 3 hours then the same thing.
After I got back home I started checking the electrical.
Turns out I had 2 issues either one or both was causing the problem.
The spark plug caps were out of spec. They're supposed to be 5K ohms resistance and one was a little off and one was really bad. Bought some from the local dealer that were NGK brand for $2 ea (yamaha OEM replacements are $18 something ea). The other thing I found was one of the wires coming out of one of the coils had broken the seal and could have pulled out from the vibration while riding. I trimmed it back reinstalled and epoxyed it. The sled started rite up and runs strong again.

The problem is I bury the throttle the sled begins to accelerate like it should then the sled bogs and looses power (Does Not stall) for a second and then graps and goes again. Through this whole process I am full throttle never letting up.
When I am cruising at say 50 and crack it wide open not a problem. It is just when I go to take off. There were even times I pulled off the trail stopped for a min got back on the sled and when I hit the gas it would just bog and not move. I shut it down and re started and it took off. This did not happen everytime but it did happen a couple times. It did although happen every single time I hit the gas wide open off the line. Like I said I go full throttle pulls hard for a sec then it sounds and feels like I am running out of gas and then catches again.
Is there anyway with this description we can narrow it down?
I have been told the following is probally wrong (Tors, clutch, carbs, crank etc)
Like if was the carbs or Tors why does the sled not bog down when I accelerate full throuttle from higher speeds? It only does it from a stop when I give it full throttle. It did bog from the get go a couple of times under normal press of the throttle but not every time.
Just trying to narrow it down if I can.
TIA

I really don't have an explaination. If you have an ohm meter I would check the plug caps just for kicks. Just unscrew them from the wire and test the resistance. The spec is 5K ohms easy to test. 3 or 4 minute job.
Tors is easy to do just connect the leads together, if it still bogs that isn't it.
Good Luck

You need to eliminate things so first start with something easy like tors. Yamaholic exlpained clearly how to bypass the tors. If it still does it you know it wasnt the tors so re-attach the connectors to the senser and go to the carbs. etc, etc. If these are all not the problem at least you have peace of mind knowing for sure. Do you have means to a compression tool? If not remove exhaust and the mainifold from the engine. Look in at the pistons and use the primary clutch to spin the crank so you can see all of the pistons clearly. If they look good then you can rule out the water spots you rode through. By the way how much water are we talking? This is time comsuming but by no means hard. Good luck!
