03-05-06, 09:17 PM

Been having a few problems with my k4 cutting out particularly during heavy braking.

When it happens i get the red FI light on and no amount of thumbing the starter will bring the engine back to life. However if i turn of the ignition for only a few seconds and then turn it back on the bike will start up no problem.

I'm assuming that this problem is related to my tilt switch seeing as the bike restarts fine when it is stationary and upright and the fact that i have had to relocate my switch for fitting a gsxr shock.

I think my positioning of the sensor just needs looking at to cure the problem.

How does the tilt switch actually work?

Any tips for fitting it in a suitable location?
