Sv Tilt Switch Help
 

Hi am having a major problem with my 04 sv race bike.
It starts fine when its on the paddock stand but when its lifted off the engine stops dead and it flashes FI. I then have to disconect the battery which i think resets the bike and it usally starts back up but still having the same problem.I heard the today that it could be the safety tilt switch but i didnt think they had them. Its a strange one i know but if anyone can help i would be gratefull.

sorry dont like curvys!!

Only joking. :(

Does it just do it when lifted off the stand? Could it be a loose connection somewhere that gets knocked as the bike touches the ground or a faulty side stand switch or similar from where road components have been taken off to be modified into race bike.

It has a race loom so there`s no side stand conection. Am going to pull the bike to bits tomorrow and hopefully i`ll find something.
Thanks for your help

yes the pointy has a Tilt switch, or TO Sensor, TOS
it's location is in front of the battery.

taking it off the paddock stands shouldnt cause it to cut though, i did this yesterday with my sv and it was fine!

During the winter we changed a few things on the bike and they haven`t worked out to well so everything is going back to the way it was. thanks for your help

If your tilt switch hasnt been put back in the correct position it will cut out!. It needs to be facing the correct way up and vertical. If its not when you tip the bike to an angle (like off the stand) it will cut out.

Common problem i see all the time.

Problem sorted. The tilt swich was in the wrong positon. Thanks for all the help. During the winter the bike had been stripped and when it was put back together it was in the wrong positon.
Thanks again
