I don't know how else to do this so its on this forum. I will work on that in the near future so we can add our own notes. I figured I would post it here and make it sticky since I have linked it to people here about 100 times.

Okay Guy's
I've posted this in about 4 other thread's, and decided it's a big enough issue with All modern Arctic Cat's.
Not just the Z's, ZL's, ZR's, and ZRT's.
to warrant it's own thread.

Before you decide you have a bad CDI, or a junk Stator.
Perform these simple diagnostic test's.

1= Unplug the 4 wire plug from the motor {2 Yellow, 1 Brown, 1 Black}

2= Jump the Brown to the Black, on the motor side of the plug.

At this point if you have spark, you've eliminated the CDI, and Stator as being the problem.

3= plug the 4 wire back together, making sure that the key is turned On, and the Kill switch is in the run position.
Press the Throttle pin against the internal Safety Switch Like This


At this point if you have spark, your throttle bushing's are shot.
You can try replacing the bushing's, but the problem will just come back.
Probably sooner than later.

The most certain method of avoiding this problem in the future, is to bypass the Throttle Safety Switch.

ACM has a topic stickied at the top of this forum, that will link you to an outside topic on how to accomplish this.

I hope this help's some people who have been having problem's, that may not be as bad and expensive as they initially thought.

my sled is a 96 and it does this when revving it. right as soon as you touch the throttle it bogs out and shuts off.

HERE IS MY CONDENSED VERSION>>>>>If your talking about the TOS(throttle over ride switch) I'm pretty sure on your machine if you follow the wires from throttle down you will see it ends up being 3 wire connector - cut/remove the center prong(male)end of connector then reconect. This will leave your kill switch working but your TOS disconnected, it worked for me fine.If your sled has a 4 wire connector then it is usually the brown wire, still same procedure.

My sled is a 2001 zr600 EFI.
I've been have a similar problem. Once I hit about 50 or 60 mph my sled bogs down and will not allow me to go any faster. Out of the pocket my sled runs fine, however if I squeeze the throttle all the way it will bog out at about 40 mph. I disconected the throttle switch and this problem continued. Any advice?
Thanks
