Wondering how you bypass the TORS function. The owners manual stated to remove the connectors from the sensor and connect them together which is simple but where is the sensor located?

My apex was under the headlight pod in the rubber boot.

I've had mine act up before. In fact last year I watched a
father and young son get stuck in the middle of a highway because the TORS came on for no reason.

In theory the TORS is a good thing. In praticum, it causes far more difficulties/problems than it prevents. I realize it is a safety feature and I am all about safety, but I have been riding Yamaha's for 20 years, and just about each and every sled I have had, the TORS has acted up and I simply bypassed it wach time with (knock on wood) no problems.
i am not saying they are perfect but after putting 10k on my rx1 the only time it acted up was when my throttle got caught on my gauntlet.my buddy put a 2inch riser on his sled and didnt extend his throttle cable(at first)and while stuck in a ditch would have ran me over if not for the tors.

Not suggesting to permanently bypass. Just wondering where it was to get out of a jam when it acts up. When you are 100 miles away from home, it is good to know how to bypass it until you can get to a dealer.
Tors activated on mine last season, left me stuck on the lake. I'd like to de-activate mine, not sure which connector it is in the rubble bundle.
My manual does not say anything about disconnecting it.

Disabling the TORS should only be done TEMPORARILY and only long enough to get it fixed.
A TORS activation/failure is usually related to one of two things; ice in the throttle lever (use alcohol to clear out ice), or being poorly adjusted. Regarding having ICE in the throttle lever, the main thing that causes throttles to stick (requiring TORS) is ice. If ICE causes your TORS to act up, you should NOT disable it, you should CLEAN the ice out.
If TORS is to be disabled permanently, it MUST be replaced with some other safety mechanism, like a tether switch, BUT THIS IS NOT IDEAL.
ALL sleds, regardless of brand, should be equipped with TORS as a matter of safety. If snowmobiles were subject to safety inspection, then this is one of the components that really should be tested. TORS is superior to all other engine kill safety mechanisms for this reason; it does NOT require you to THINK and it does NOT require you to JUMP OFF. TORS will activate even if you too stupid to hit the kill switch and going too fast to jump off.
More thought;
There is only ONE condition under which TORS should be disabled; broken switch. Rather than getting off and disabling it, you should FIX the problem - same effort is required.
Another thought;
If your TORS acts up, manual manipulation of the throttle lever will allow you to continue until a safe place to make an adjustment - the pivot on the throttle lever is in a SLOT. Force the pin into the forward/left end of the slot and TORS will deactivate.

If you have to deactivate the TORS it is in the rubber boot under the dash panel. There is a single wire with black connectors and a single wire with white connectors. Unplug them from the normal wire routing and plug them in so that they complete the circuits back to the TPS and throttle lever only. This should only be a temporary fix until you can look closely at why the TORS is activating!

TORS
Last year, I had my sled into the shop four times to fix the TORS, which kept coming on. The dealer did over $1,300.00 in warranty work to try to correct it, but the problem continued. I finally disconnected the TORS. I am not sure of any other options at this point.
