How old was the gas? If the gas was from last season or even more than a month ago it could be stale.
What was the temperature? If it was 40* and the sled is jetted for 10* it could cause that.
Im better its bad gas.
When I first bought my Phazer 2 years ago it wouldnt idle the first morning I rode it. It also fouled out a set of plugs while it was idling in the driveway. However, after I rode into town and filled it up it was fine from that day on.
I say drain the gas out, dump in some fresh gas and then see how it runs.

ya the gas is only about a month old. it runs fine when im already moving maybe a little boggy, but from a stop if you hit it, it will bog or stall. it was a little warmer out, but it was snowning pretty good. so i guess i will get the carbs cleaned and get the jets checked. thanks guys.

A bad belt or clutching that is out in left field will give a bog also.....once you clean those carbs that would be my next thing to check.

ok i have cleaned the carbs, disconnected the TORS, and it still bogs. once it is engaged it pulls like nuts. lots of power, but right off the get go, it bogs. could it be the pilot jetts??? what is the normal range of idle for the srx???

I think the next obvious place to look is the clutches.... Have they been cleaned / serviced anytime recently?

how old is the gas,,,, bad gas does this,,,,
is the filter clogged?? in tank filter?? is it clogged??

if it didnt run like this last year, and it is this year, I wouldnt think you have motor problems,,,

when you cleaned the carbs, did you adjust the air screws to spec???

The thing you should check is that the reeds are making full contact with the reed cage in other words none of them are getting tired
