i've got a 1990 blaster w/200cc. When I would turn the handle bars sitting at an idle the motor was stalling out. if i wiggled it around the idle would go in and out. now it won't start anymore any ideas?
Throttle cable kills motor

What is happening is the your ideling is not set up rite and your cable is to tight so your cable is keeping the rev's up and as soon as you turn, your cable slacks off and the bike die's, check that your air screw is 1 and a 1/2 turns out and then set your ideling by your idle screw that you will find under the seat pm me if you don't come rite.
if you dont have anything informative to say dont waste the guys time.......I would go with what freek said...good luck
Although the problem may indeed be a hanging throttle cable, I'm inclined to think that the issue is with your TORS system. Most likely either a bad/damaged connection, a shorted wire up on the bars, or a faulty parking brake or throttle switch. All of these TORS components are mounted on or around the handlebars. If something were to start acting up (and this is very possible, especially on an older blaster like yours), you might have been able to jiggle the handlebars to keep the connection made. Until now, that is, when something finally crapped out for good.
As was already suggested, I'd just make life a lot easier for myself and defeat the whole TORS system with one swoop. TORS is a big fat Yamaha joke that serves little, if any, practical purpose. Just take the hood off your Blaster and unplug/remove the small, black box located on the upper right side of the frame. It will have 3 wires (2 black, 1 yellow) coming out of it. This is the control module for the TORS, and once you unplug it, the system is deactivated. Try your kickstarter again. I bet it will fire now.

I agree, it sounds like the tors! The first thing I did with mine was to go to Vitos and eliminate it or like they said, unplug it!
