you dont necessarily have to remove your tors right away..just unplug the brain which is located under the left side of the gas tank, it is a little black box..then if you want to be sure its un plugged then disconnect each wire running from the tors ( 2 gray plugs)... Check to make sure that your parking brake assembly is not messing shit up...i removed the whole parking brake assembly on my bike because even with them on they barely ever work unless you adjust them everytime..also i cut the electrical wire going to my throttle.. my bike runs great now and i had the same problems as you...if your bike runs ok after all this then still use the top screws on top of the tors to adjust your idle
