Ive been reading up on it and people say to remove it and it will eliminate some problems with the machines starting and so on....I a really curious what this TORS is though. Ive had my banshee for about 4 months now and it runs good, not problems so I dont need to remove the tors or anything, Im just wondering if I should and what it is,thanks a lot.

There aren't many questions on here that you can't find the answer to by searching. Not trying to be a dick, but tors has about a million threads about it.

what do tors do i hear u guys talking about them all the time what does it do

 

TORS(Throttle Over Ride System) the main purpose of this is to keep you engine from blowing up if one slide gets stuck in the open position. There are sensors on top of each carb that senses the position of the slide in the carb. There is a sensor in the throttle housing that senses the position of the throttle. The sensor in the throttle housing and on top of the carbs sends a signal to a box(Located under the gas tank on the left side of the frame). When the position of either carb or the throttle position and carb slide positions don't match then the box will send a signal to the ignition box and the ignition will be adjusted to keep your engine from blowing. In another words......get rid of it because when it gets wet enough it will reak havoc and become a huge headache. Plus when you get rid of it and put in a TORS eliminator kit the throttle response becomes alot better

Physically, How is it possible for a Two stroke to diesel like that? Just curious if there is an after spark or something.. :shrugani:

Simple, it diesels! When the octane is low enough, and the compression is high enough, the fuel combusts without the use of spark, just like a diesel truck. That's why when you pull the plug, or hit the kill switch, nothing happens, because doing either one of those things is just starving the motor of a spark, but when your bike's dieseling, it doesn't need spark. The best thing to do in that situation is to put it in gear and drop the clutch.
