Disconnecting TOR sensor question

[1FunRX1]

I was wondering if anybody has any idea as to the repercusions of disconnecting the TOR sensor? When I turn my handle bars fully one way or the other the engine rev's up a little then the TOR takes over. I don't mind the engine rev'ing up a little but I do mind the engine cutting out in the middle of a turn. This all started when I put on 2" bar risers, will it hurt anything if I just disconnect the dumb thing. Thanks for your help

I am not a big fan of disconnecting it . Yamaha put it there for a reason and it could help some day.
I think your problem lies in the cable (throttle) being to short or you can try to adjust it a bit so you have a bit more play in it . Sometimes if it is to tight it will activate the T.O.R.S.

Disconnecting TORS

The only thing it will do is to disable that safety feature. You have to plug the 2 ends of the cable together to bypass it. The sled will run fine.

TOR Disconnect

Get yourself the RX-Mountain throttle cable. It's about $16. I put it on mine and no problems at all. I don't suggest disconnecting the TORS for warranty reasons. I have the 2" risers and have no problem with revving or cutouts after the longer cable.

yamabluerx1: Warrenty reasons?

I have a mountain sled with a mountain cable right now. My warrenty has already expired, and I have lenthened the cable as long as I could but still when I turn fully to the sides it kicks in. If all it does is protect against against a run away throttle then I'm going to disconnect it. If it has other safety features associated then I'll leave it and figure another fix. No sled I have ever owned has had it, so why do I need it now?

It is only for runaway probs. but it sure will suck if you need it :cry:

1FunRX1: power maid makes a cable extender

jtssrx, thanks for the sugestion. I'm not to fond of the cable extension. I have a buddy who has one and it froze up on him once. I may consider it though.

1funrx-1 undo the u shaped cable holder, it is metal. This will give U more room and should not run up the RPMs. Also undo the zip ties to the throttle cable, this may work.

I went for a ride this weekend on my 03 RX-1 and wahsed it after the ride at the local car wash. When I got home I unloaded it let it warm up until the light went out and tried putting it in the garage. It felt like a rev limiter of some sort keeping the engine from coming up in RPMs. Did I not let it warm up enough? Does this have something to do with the TOR?

hey race 24x, Untill the rx is fully warmed it will not let U over rev it to prevent any engine damage. Honk

Thanks, thats what I thought but I let it warm up until the light went out and stuff. It ran for about 4 minutes. Maybe not quite enough I guess just kind of freaked me out.
