Yamaha Blaster TORS System Removal - How To

Here's how to remove the troublesome TORS (Throttle-Override) system on 1988-2002 model year Yamaha Blaster ATV's. This set of electrical interlocks usually gives riders nothing but trouble, and the whole thing can be taken out once and for all with just a screwdriver and a pair of wire cutters.

Follow these simple steps, and get back to riding! The procedure outlined in this video is almost identical for getting rid of the TORS on a Banshee, except that you have to deal with two carburetor caps and a couple more wires on a 'Shee. No big deal. Anybody with some mechanical knowledge should have no trouble with it, and can apply what I describe here to a Banshee.

Can you just cut the tors "brain out", or will it not work as it would if you cut all of the wiring out

[PokedNStroked1030]

@Mutantinfection Yes, you can just cut the 'brain' out and unplug the carburetor/throttle switches and be done with it. I just showed how to remove all the wiring at once since I don't like dangling plugs and wires. Its up to you as to how far you want to take the removal process.

Great vid....So after I remove the TORS, can I just ride or do I need a kit?

[PokedNStroked1030]

@anthalex8 Go riding! You don't need a removal kit; the kits you see for sale are just there to eliminate the 'brick' on top of the carburetor. It is a nice thing to install...makes working on the Blaster easier...but you don't need one to keep on riding. Just adjust the idle speed from the screw on top of the carburetor as opposed to having to drill and tap the carb for an idle screw if you install the kit.

Great video! I have a question though, After I remove my tors box how will I adjust my idle?

[PokedNStroked1030]

@davidcn748 You have to buy a TORS removal kit. Vito's Performance, Motion Pro, and Moose Racing all make them for the Blaster. The kit comes with a new carburetor cap and a new idle speed screw which you install in your stock carburetor. You have to drill and tap the side of the carb to accept the idle screw. It is not hard to do as long as you follow the instructions and work carefully.
