^^ i kinda ran into the same prob. My buddy and I were jumpin the tip over sensor on his F4i down were the main harnesses connect and sumthin bad happened. i dunno what it was but now the fuel pump wont prime so the bike will not start. ive tried everything i can think of (puttin the wires back to how they were before i messed with em, reconnected the original tip over sesor unit and upper harness, checked all fuses and relays, swapped out ignitions, swapped out ECU's, manually connected the fuel pump itself to a hot lead to make sure its still good, followed the entire harness everywhere to make sure there wasn't any exposed wires, etc) and cant get the bastard to prime!! i've been troubleshootin this thing for over a week now and am runnin out of ideas, anyone got any tips on what i should try??

 

i ride 954 if i leave the sensor will it help me from going over

 

no. once you pass the point of no return, only god can help you.

 

damnet, whats the best way to kill the switch, im gettin a f4i soon and need to do this mod.

 

I'll add a little to this one. I just got done with the tip sensor and this is what I did. In the above pic showing the tip sensor you see a green, a red, and a white wire. I pulled the white wire out of the black connector (there is a small tab inside the conector and if you press it in the wire will slide out) Then I cut the green and red wires so they were the same length. Strip the ends back about 1/4"-1/2" and slide over a piece of shrink tube. Twist the wires together and soilder (SP) then together and after the soilder cools pull the shrink tube over and melt it down with a lighter. Then I wraped the end up with electrical tape so no water could get in and poped the connector back on and ziptied it to the 2 holes that were left from removing the tip sensor. Everything works 100% as it did before, well except for when my bike tips over now it will stay running LOL. I'll take some pics to better explain when I do my buddies bike in the next week or so.

take it apart at the switch and put the two wires together and you are done

 

THANKS MAN, doing this tonight. has any experienced their bike bogging down at ballance point or right behing bp because they did not do this mod???

 

i just got a nother f4i...it has full fairing, the headlight works, this bike is almost mint. i want to keep the bike like this. by doing the tip over mod will it affect something??????????

 

you can do it fine without effecting anything else

 

I just had mine bypassed and that is what you do cut the red and green splice them together and leave the white.

 

just done mine
took screen off diconected tip over sensor conction vut all 3 wires and taped off the white
then got a electrical connector put both green and red wire in a squashed it together all works great now
thanks every 1

 

whats the purpose of this mod? I've been practicing in the parking lot for a while now, and I can come back and scrape tail section, roll stoppies, starting to try circles and I've never had a problem. Just when i drop it and it falls over it dies, why is that a problem?

 

wait till the bike shuts off on you in a spreader or highchair. you will know why then.

 

why would it shut off in a highchair or spreader when I wheelie it everyday and have never had it shut off before?

 

hey my axle is loose but what the hell, my wheel hasn't fallen off so who cares!

 

do you see what im saying?

is the tip over sensor supposed to shut the bike off at 12' oclock? Or just side to side...if its supposed to shut it off in a wheelie then mine must be really ****ed up...

 

the tip over switch is a pendelum inside a black box of oil. at a certian vertical height im sure gravitey will take its corse one day and pull the pendelum to the side and shut your fuel pump off and you will expierence a engine cut mouse trap.

 

^^ that just happend to my buddy the other day. thats why im reading this.

 

its so simple why wouldent every f4i stunner do it

 

On THe Main Harness For The Headlights Cut The Red And Green And Wire Them Together ON THE FEMALE SIDE OF THE PLUG ITS THE CLEANEST AND EASIEST WAY TO DO IT
