mine did it after they replaced them actually

 

my 05 r6 shut off last year after a 5 second or so stoppie. it threw a code and wouldnt start until i turned the key off and back on. i looked up the code and it was the tip over sensor. hasnt happend since (i suck at stoppies) i would like to know how to disable the sensor tho

 

Its been a few years.... So I don't remember 100% how I did it, But you need to take it apart and fill it full of silicon... Use a very small flat blade screw driver to "pop" the white inside out of the black case...

Look for the sensor just behind the ecm, it has 2 bolts and says "up" on it

 

IF U REMOUNTED UR TIP OVER SENSOR IT MAY BE WORKIN UP AND DOWN INSTEAD UP SIDE TO SIDE. I REMOUNTED MINE AND IT TURNS OFF WHEN I COME BACK PAST 12 AND ON STOPPIES SOMETIMES BUT STAYS RUNNIN WHEN IT FALLS OVER ON ITS SIDE.

 

Can't you just jump the wires like you do on an f4i and call it a day?

That sounds terrible. I hope you didn't do this intentionally.

 

I have a spare harness laying around that had a tip sensor in it. took 20 second to take apart and notice how it works. There is a counter weighted sensor that just needs to be held in place (easiest would probably be silicone) Just looks like you would need to make sure the sensor stays in the "up" position in reference to the bike. I'll try it out next week when I go pick my bike up from storage.

 

Nope I tryed all the easy ways... Its not all that hard.. It will take you less than 15 min's once you get the tail off

 

i took mine apart and removed the counter weight all together. works like a champ.

 

+1 thats what i did with my 03 back in da day.

 

thats how i did mine to!

 

yeah, i think im gonna just take the counter weight out. Looks like i got some **** to do tonight.

 

Nice, I was going to try just taking the weight out first but don't have my bike with me.

 

Taking the Tip over Sensor Counter weight out of tip ober sensor case just threw a code for me... I have been ******* with this thing all day and now my bike will NOT start. any other Suggestions.

I hate this ******* wiring ****.

 

No code for me

 

are you getting an oil light as well? (before it goes to bulb check)


coils are a huge issue on these bikes. they dont like hard hits. weird that the bike would restart fine though....

 

let me know when you find out

 

That is why I ended up siliconing mine

 

i feel your pain

 

you suck...

Mine wont even start when I am holding it in the right position. It tries to but will not actually turn over.
Im glad im not in this alone...

 

i dont mess with wiring lol. i have my electrical engineer friend do it!

good luck man.
