ever since i have owned my sled no matter how loose or tight i have the throttle cable, it will still occassionally do the rev limiter noise that aggrivates the #$%&* out of me. just wondering is there any way i can unplug it or do something so i don't have to deal with at all. pros and cons for disconnecting it also. don't want to wreck nothing just want to get rid of the aggrivation.
 

the system is fairly simple you have two switches, one on the carb rack
and one in the throttle block, just have a look and see if they seem to be
working or not,moving freely not sticking etc....

1-look down at the switch on the carb rack when you release your throttle
does the nub press the switch good?, is it making good contact with it?

2-pull your pin outa your thumb lever and move it a side look down in and
you'll see a little slid switch,take a small screw driver and push on it,is it
moving in and out freely, not binding or sticking??

if both seem to be working properly you may have one thats defective
and needs replaced

TORS is a great safety feature and should be keep functioning...
 
Easy to bypass. Just unplug the wires and loop them back together. Problem solved until the carbs stick open for some strange reason and you run it into something because the system has been disabled. Make sure the kill switch works and maybe put a tether on it if you don't fix it.
 
I had one go bad on my 2000 sxr, very esy test with a ohm meter, do you have a service manual? it ended up being the one on the carb, out of ten pulls, one or two times the switch didnt work, i replaced it and has been gret for another three thousand miles. piece of mind for me as my kids ride my machines alot, last week a local boy had a green sleds throttle stick he says and the machine went through his neighbors wall of his house! if you have another yami, maybe trade the carb switch and see what happens.
 
Just to add . . .

Even with a good working unit, if you press the throttle flipper toward the center of the bars as you open the throttle it will activate the TORS. This can easily happen when sidehilling, jumping, or simply gathering the sled back up from on off-camber situation as your hand is not always in it's normal position.

Disabling it is most definitely a tradeoff.
 
I've had only one problem once and it was the throttle block switch went bad, (intermittent) so i re-placed the block and the problem never happened again.

that one problem was the only one i ever had with TORS, pretty good
system if ya ask me.
