I was riding my blaster yesterday when all of a sudden it just lost all power and died, first I thought I cooked the top end or something but diddnt it started up after it stalled.. the only thing I could think of that happened is mabe I skipped a gear and bogged it down and stalled it or the TORS went off?? Anybody know what happens when the TORS goes off???

Also, just took some pictures of one of my fav riding aeras

anybody?

 

Thats what happened to my blaster.It would go but it would bog like a mother.I thought it was the jetting or something like that but when I took it to the dealer to be fixed it cost me $250 for a new tors system.If thats what the problem is just disconnect the tors.Just test it to see if thats what it is.

 

It was like it just cut the electricity?

 

My wife's Blaster had the TORS module go bad. The bike would only Idle. Anything over idle and it would stall. I found that you can disconnect the TORS module and it will run, you just don't have the TORS system anymore.THat's the way we ran it till we sold it. The module is under the front plastic by the front brake cables. there are two modules there, just trace up the wiring and you will find which one is for the throttle system.

 

Mine did exactly what davetheace said.It would idle but id give it just a slight bit of throttle and it would bog.

 

may I ask what TORS is and what it does?

 

It stands for Throttle overide system or something like that, it is suposta shut the machine down or something when the throttle sticks?

 

TORS Stands for Throttle OverRide System and is a series of switches and control modules that are supposed to kill the power to the engine if the throttle sticks open. I have never had this happen to my bike so I dont know what actually happens but the wiring diagrams indicate that the motor should shut down COMPLETELY, The problem that you described sounds more like a park brake rev limiter problem (not sure if its incorperated into the TORS system) there should be a wire coming off of your clutch\park brake lever disconnect this and see if it fixes the problem. Also if you do disconnect the TORS system make sure that you disconnect it from the main module and from the throttle switch. I disconnected mine at my carburators (on a banshee) and it made the problem worse.

 

Turned out to be the gas tank breather was like a foot too long and all crammed under the handlebars, cut it and its been fine ever since. It was just running out of gas...
