No spark

Throttle override system (T.O.R.S.) is incorpo-
rated in the ignition circuit, and if the system
should fail, the spark plug will not spark.

8-49

POTENTIAL HAZARD

Testing for an ignition system problem
by disconnecting the Throttle OverRide
System (T.O.R.S.).

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

With T.O.R.S. disconnected, the engine
will not stop if the throttle does not
close properly. This could cause loss of
control and an accident.
You could be burned if you touch the
hot exhaust pipe while disconnecting
the wire coupler.

q

WARNING

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

Have the system checked by a Yamaha
dealer.
Before bypassing T.O.R.S., be sure the
throttle closes properly when the throt-
tle lever is released.
If the machine must be ridden, ride as
slowly as possible.
Do not touch the exhaust pipe when dis-
connecting the wire coupler.
