Well get this... Spent 3.5 hours one way to go for a sled ride yesterday and guess what of all things happened...? Started the sled on the trailer to pull if off and go riding and it wouldn't move due to TORS (Code 84).
This one baffled me though as I have had TORS difficulties in the past with my old sled. My old sled had riser and longer throttle cables/ extensions which was the cause to my problems...
However, Yesterday my problem was with something else. My Apex MTX has stock riser, stock cables blah blah blah, and when I pulled the sled onto the trailer a few days before and all the tinkering I did in the off season I never had a problem.
So here I am 160 miles from home on a day trip and my sled won't move. I took the cowling off by the gas tank and was able to reach inside and adjust the throttle cable thinking this had to be the problem, the throttle cable got some moisture in it or something and now is too tight. I first adjusted to make sure I had the 2mm slack. This didn't work, So I loosed some more, Still didn't help. The throttle cable moved freely and wasn't too tight I checked and even rerouted the cable the best I could in the parking lot.
So in the end, I by-passed the Tors and whahhlahh. The sled idled perfectly and ran like a top all day. Never once did I feel a blip or anything throttle related.
SOOO.... has anyone ever had anything not throttle cable related to your TORS not working properly. I would like to get it working again but it will stay unpluged if I keep having problems. Is there anyway for something to freeze up, or misalign, or bend? I don't know what to look for now after doing all the cable diagnostics I can think of. Where is the TORS sensor actually located? Is there a sensor in the flipper and on the fuel rail somewhere?
One last thing, I understand riding with or without TORS is a heated debate, and can be dangerous either way. Lets not bicker about that. Thanks!

To anyone that cares:
I was able to mess with my sled a little this weekend regarding the TORS issuse. The thing is, now there is no issue. I started the sled and warmed it up reconnected the wires which i swapped to by pass it and no code or TORS issue. I have a feeling that somewhere along the way on the trailer or before we left that some water or snow got into the throttle flipper on the handle bars and wouldn't let the TORS sensor read that I was pushing the throttle. That is the only thing I can think of to make this work on/off again. I will see if it gives me any more problems but for now the TORS is hooked back up.

i have had issues with tors when stored outside or trailered on a open deck, everytime it was ice in the throttle pivot for me
