mountain cat question...has a hiccup

need help, i am supposed to be leaving for dubois onthe 23 of januaryfor a week long trip. i have a 03 1m 800 that has a hiccup that seems to be consistently at about 6 to 7000 rpm. it seems like it is the throttle switches but i clipped that wire and tried again but still has the hiccup. i also tried a different coil and that was not it either.i also checked to make sure the grounds were tight.

any thoughts would be appreciated,
todd
 
Check your plugs and see what they look like. Also make sure your handle bar warmers are not shorting out. Mine were and had to cut them off. I just had a MC seize on me last winter.
 
Probably not it, but I had a hickup on a 01 800 at about same rpm I couldn't figure out. It was a cracked fuel line in the tank, didn't figure out until it completely broke and the fuel level was below the tube. Easy check, just get a mirror and look in the tank. Kept thinking it was the tps.
 
i cliped the tps. and covered the ends of the wires but still was the same. throttle position sensor in the flipper is the switches in there right? one has to be released and the other pressed in. i have tried to hold the flipper in different spots also. the hiccup is if you just roll on the throttle and once it hits the 6 to 7000 it mis fires like a bog, the sqeeze it a little more and it goes away. it only does it once if i keep rolling on the throttle. the plugs are a nice coco colored.

thanks
gfs
