Thanks 516486[/snapback] i removed my tors with tors elmination kit i got off ebay, much better looking and easier to work with. it doesnt increase power at all or hurt anything. tors is only for dumb drivers, rookies. about the vforce reeds, i hear they increase some nice power. some people said different. some say its not worth the money. but i cant really say much on the vforce reeds, since i dont have experience with them yet.

8buck Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 (edited) It's just a safety thing in case your carbs stick open. No change in power, woun't hurt the motor. V-Force more power, yes, worth the money, depends on your mods. I've heard of 6 hp gains on ported and piped Banshees!

Bansh88 Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Removing the TORS makes your Banshee that much simpler. It will be one less (make that 2 less) things to worry about. Your bikes engine will look a lot cleaner. You'll also be eliminating about 1-2 lbs. I have V force 2 and 3 on my '02 and '06 respectively. No big differences. Makes the powerband smooth out and power nicely. Good addition to the bike if you can afford them. The money could be spent elsewhere in the motor. But it is an easy bolt-on application.

Walleye Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 What is a tors anyways? 516532[/snapback] Throttle Override System it prevents if the slides are stuck open, and will shut down the engine or something. i dont know the exact details, it just prevents something like runaway motor. but experienced riders would know what to do, just kill the switch, or slam on the rear brakes.

mudpuppy Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Also because the parkbrake is easy to leave on the tors kicks when the park brake is set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csrmel Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 imo, main reason for tors removal is to lessen the pressure needed on the thumb throttle. otherwise, tors is actually a good idea and would help prevent you from blowing up a motor if one of youre carbs sticks. tors doesnt weigh much, maybe 1lb, 2 at most.

dajogejr Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Had more problems that good with TORS. They add too many problems to diagnose if you start having problems... Once I removed my buddies TORS and put K&N pod filters on...he just sat there, and was like...that's it? Did you forget to put something back...as he looked at the pile of parts on the floor.
