Bought a slightly used 06 apex GT. first ride in the tight stuff, noticed the when letting off from slight throttle, the idle would stay at least 1000rpm high for a second. If letting off quick from mid throttle it was fine. pretty scarry, especially with the icestorm damage.
pulled headlight pod and airbox. the factory throttle body idle setting was basically closing butterflies tight, causing binding. I simply lowered the bypass idle as low as it could go, then raied throttle body idle until I had maybe 100rpm low and raised idle bypass up the next 100 to make it functional. Worked mint and never looked at it again, 2000mi.
on another note, I got rid of the throttle safety by installing a short roll pin along side the throttle lever pin. have done this on cats for years. no more occasional engine studder under lever transfer. Also I like the way it tightens the throttle to a single stage. As far as safety is concerned, if you dont know enough to hit the kill, get a bicycle.

sgilbert,
I believe that you can bypass the TORS eaisier by simply plugging the connectors together differently? In any case, a properly adjusted and functioning TORS should not cause any driveability issues.
You might be suprised at how fast the sled will take off with a stuck throttle especially if you are starting it up and it literally takes off before you are ready. The worst part would be that it would most likely be someone else that gets hurt or has their property damaged by your sled.
