xcr700

i have a 98 xcr 700 tripple tripple.we went for a good 4 hour ride today,through all sorts of ditch powder,trails and other stuff like that.my question is this:after nearly 3 hours of hard riding i noticed my sled would ever so slightly hessitate when you pin it.not a bog(wouldnt lose power,just wouldnt go instantly,like maybe half a second)seemed to only do thisin deeper snow.is this something to woory about?im a little paranoind because on our ride today 2 of my buddies blew their sleds up.any help would be greatly appreciated.

i find when riding in deep powder you tend to get snow on clutches wich will cause it to slip a bit which doesn't take from rpm's but doesn't seem to get up and go as quickly as usual

i never thought of that.i figured it would rev up then go if there was snow on the clutches.

just talked to the dealer,they say it may be a carb issue,but they want to see it.my sled is out of town,now where near any dealer.i just had my carbs done at another dealer like 100 miles ago.should i just ride it?i dont feel like wasting my time if its something i shouldnt worry about.it has no lack of power and it isnt bogging,just a slight hessitation.maybe it just needs to thaw out.

1fst809 was right.when i finnally contacted the shop who did my carbs and such,they said the same thing.(snow on cluches)thanks.
