Fi fault fixed, tilt sensor.

[fylfot]

just thought i'd put this up here in cases it helps anyone else out. I have had an intermittent starting issue for a couple of years showing an FI code. I changed the ignition switch, cleaned every connector i could find and replaced the fuel pump, all to no avail, then by chance as it decided one day outside homebase to not start and i was in a real rush i good got really f**ked off and literally shock the bike while calling it every name under the sun....then it started! got me thinking, i wonder if..... i removed the tilt sensor, opened the little git up and lo and behold there was a little brass tang that had snapped off and was rattling around inside, shorting it out every now and again. Replaced the sensor and no more issues thus far.

I had a problem on my k2 years ago with the tilt sensor but it was a corroded connector the sensor it's self was ok .
Never heard of another problem like it untill this.
As they say everyday a school day
We'll found out .
Another thing to check if you can't find a problem .
