Best Mechanic ever!(my dad)

[darealblaster]

Ok,so i was riding my blasty,then all of a sudden it lost power and died, i started it back up and before i could let the clutch out it died, before it died it idle really high and went back down, i got off,messed with the idle screw, nothing, kept looking and nothing. When i say to myself,lets cut the freaking Tors off, i got to my dad and say, "where are the keys of the garage" he goes, what happen, i go the blasty starts but the dies, he goes, "did you check the gas" in my mind i go "f*ck me". hahahaha hope you enjoy my idiocrazy.

everyone is always so quick to blame the TORS.... i dont get it?


glad to hear it wasnt something bigger holding you down.

 

[darealblaster]

What are the TOR.

 

[Valhalla]

What are the TOR.

its a big bad engine gremlin that will cause certian fate to your motor if its allowed to remain in your motor.




no, not really.... its a safety measure in case your throttle cable ever gets stuck. if the switch on your throttle is not pressed in, but your engine is revving too high, it will close the throttle for you. commonly removed because people blame it for their jetting and spark problems.

 

[coreyownz]

it can sometimes mess it up though..

 

[Valhalla]

absolutely. but majority of the time, its not the problem everyone thinks it is.

 

[flyers42091]

true, but its free to remove. So its better to start with that than spend money on other things and end up removing it anyway.

 

[Valhalla]

while it is always best to start troubleshooting with the cheapest possibility, the problem occurs when someone doesnt know how to do it properly and actually makes their problems worse.

i repair and service sportbikes on the weekends. the biggest moneymaker for me is when someone thinks they are going to do a free mod and end up bringing me their bike to fix after they screwed it up.

research, research, research!!!! one thread or how to isnt ever enough. always try multiple forums and look at the overall consensus of a mod or problem before dedicating to it for repairs.
