SheeHog Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Question about removing the TORS system off of my shee...I ride mine about once every 2 months out at Pismo Beach and my thumb turns into jello after the first couple of rides. Will removing the TORS make the throttle easier on my thumb? Is there a simple way to remove it without purchasing the kit? What are the main benefits of removing the TORS? How can I make the throttle less stiff so I can ride longer??? Looking forward to getting some help. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boonman Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Will removing the TORS make the throttle easier on my thumb? No. it will not. The same springs remain inside the carb. It may be slightly easier, but hardly noticeable. And the TORS units will still be on the carb themselves. Is there a simple way to remove it without purchasing the kit? You can disable it without purchasing the kit by unplugging the brain module which is located adjacent to the coil, underneath the left side of the fuel tank. What are the main benefits of removing the TORS? No future problems related to the TORS system. Often times the switches located in the clutch lever perch, and the throttle housing fail, and make the system operate falsely, causing major headaches. Also, jetting becomes easier because the units are no longer on top of the carbs. How can I make the throttle less stiff so I can ride longer??? You have a couple choices here. Either get a twist throttle, so your thumb won't be tired. or, you can grind down the sides of the spring to relieve the tension in the spring. I wouldn't do that myself, you risk hanging the slide up in the carb because the spring may not have enough pressure to hold the slide down when you let off. Also, if done unevenly, you will create a weak spot in the spring, and it will eventualy break. Another route you can go is to just suck it up buttercup, it's a banshee and you have to take some of the good with the bad. Get used to it. Or, the final option is to get a single carb setup. This may perhaps be the most expensive route.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SheeHog Posted November 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Thanks Boonman..That answered all my questions!!! Like you said...Im just gonna suck it up. I dont want to take the risk of grinding down the spring and have something break..thats the last thing I need. I really dont see too many shee owners with twist throttle and I am not sure If i would like having one on mine. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eehsnab2 Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 I run a twist throttle which I intially hated. After a couple rides I got used to it and now I love it. I think it made me a better rider too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenr74 Posted November 4, 2003 Report Share Posted November 4, 2003 Same here. I didn't like my twist at first but now I wouldn't go back to the thumb throttle. My hand never gets tired and it's easier to hold it. The only time I don't like the twist is when I'm trying to wheelie. It's hard to get off the gas while holding on to the throttle.
