Hmmm. I thought the TORS switches, like all of the other switches on the bike, except for the key, are normally open, which means they finction fine as long as the circuit is broken. I could be wrong though. I know before I did away with my TORS, that when I had TORS issues that unplugging the carb tops used to make the bike run fine because it essentially turns the TORS system off.
Edit: And ohh yeah, the removal kit is deinately a good idea regardless, I just don't think it will fix your current issues.
