Dinner Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 TORS (Throttle Over Ride System) is an OEM system that is suppose to limit RPM while the parking brake is applied on stock Banshee's. If the system is working properly, when the parking brake is applied and you try revving the engine, it should only go to 2000RPM give or take (from what I remember). The problem is, a lot of the time the TORS System screws up. You'll go to rev the engine and it will only rev above idle, meanwhile the parking brake is not applied. Most people remove the TORS system to save on the hassles of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 well.. the tors consists of 2 independent systems. the ebrake system, which is run through the cdi, and the throttle system , which consists of 3 switches, (one in the throttle lever, and one in each carb) and a tors controll box, which activates the killswitch wire when there is a switch/wire fault, stuck slide, or stuck cable. that is why there is a big box with levers inside on both carbs and the throttle lever. the controll box must always see ground throug one switch or another, or it will kill spark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheesandrider Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 (edited) TORS has nothing to do with the PARK BRAKE rev limiter, that is all done by grounding a wire through the park brake switch for the CDI and Banshees older than 1996 DO NOT have this,it is the green/yellow wire and 96 and older CDIs do not have this wire. All years of Banshees have TORS which stands for Throttle OverRide System and is suppose to kill the ignition if the thumd throttle is in the idle position and the carb slides are not,ie: a stuck throttle. Alot of people have problems with them and do away with them, you have to unhook it if you switch to a twist throttle.
