Hey guys,

quick question, when you have the handbreak locked on the shee wont rev passed 2000rpm? Im guessing this is to warm up the motor and to stop over reving.

 

Problem is: After the crash the bike wont rev passed the limit even with the break off? There is one cable that is loose near the bars (i'll get a pic when im home) and if i push it it works for a couple of seconds.

Can i just cut this cable and join it then forget about the limiter?

cheers

The parking brake switch is wired directly to the CDI and has nothing to do with TORS. Disconnect the switch (connection is located between the fuel tank and the radiator) and see if that solves the problem...

TORS is a safety feature that, when functioning correctly, kills the engine when a stuck throttle condition is detected. The system has a control unit, two carburetor switches, and a throttle switch. Disconnecting the switches and the control unit eliminates the electrical portion and the 'TORS Elimination Kit' is used to replace the carburetor switch boxes and provide a means to adjust the idle. The kit contains caps, idle screws, and throttle cable.

 

I never had any issues with my system malfunctioning before I removed it form my bike, but many people attribute some electrical problems to the TORS system. Bottom line, if you maintain your throttle system, TORS is really not necessary.

 

If/when you upgrade to bigger/different carbs, the system cannot be used anyways... :woot:

 

Stock carbs + TORS = safe

 

Big motor + big carbs + no TORS = safe and less junk in the way
