Something to check on your '08 Nytros

[Butta]

Took a ride yesterday and had the TORS activated a couple times. Seemed like it was when I had the handlebars turned to the left and let off the throttle. I experimented with it a little and found that the throttle was being engaged ever so slightly with a left turn....yep, my conclusions were the throttle cable.

Upon inspection, I found the lock nut had backed itself all the way loose agains the hex adjuster and allowed the adjuster to back itself out, increasing tension on the throttle cable and giving me not only TORS (which was working like it was supposed to) but also a slightly higher idle (1700ish).

So, might wanna check to make sure your throttle lock nut is tight the next time you have the covers off.

Btw, my sled has just over 600 miles on it and yesterday was the first indication of this situation.

Thank you for the heads up!

JMO... but TORS is the biggest pain in the arse to deal with. Just disconnect it and install a tether. Problem solved...especially when you decide to add boost. If you chop the throttle...the throttle bodies can't close quick enough and they will setoff the TORS, your sled will fall flat on it's face and you'll be left digging it out when playing in 3' of powder. Don't ask how I know.

been running boost for 400 miles never had the TORS cause any problems but to prevent it how do you unhook it

If you pull the clutch side cover off and look at the support frame towards the front of the sled...there will be a "boot" looking cover for a huge bundle of wire connections. Roll the boot up and there will be 2 smaller wires (shows the connection picture in the owners manual) that need to be unplugged and then the 2 top wires plugged into each other.

Best way to describe is the wire series goes from that bundle down to the throttle housing, where the tors sensor is located, and then back up. If you unplug the wire going down...and the return wire and just connect those 2 you're in business.

I don't have my sled, or else I'd take a picture of it.

thanks I will get it unhooked

does anyone have a picture of the wires. I see that there is a black connector and a white one. They are the 2 smallest ones I see, are they the ones that need to be unhooked.
