cagimaha Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Not too sure on the ins and outs of newer yamahahas but on suzukis of the same age (and newer as far as I know) there's a tilt sensor located under the tail unit which detects if the bike's been dropped and kills the engine to stop it pirouetting round on the road. They can sometimes stick in the "dropped" position causing the bike not to start. They're easy enough to bypass and check if that is the cause.

Mr.Pigdog Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 It will have a tilt sensor that kills the fuel supply(I think)in the event of a crash.not sure on the location on an r1 mind?normally a small thing that kinda looks like a relay-bet it's sticking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyJim Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 AFAIK there is no 'tilt sensor' or anything like that on the early R1's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaighn80 Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 dont suppose its got a fuel cut off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyJim Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 dont suppose its got a fuel cut off? yes there is a fuel cut off, but that is linked to the kill switch, which isolates the fuel pump and the ignition coils. if there's a clicking from under the seat then either the battery is flat and/or there is a problem with a relay. the starter circuit links the neutral switch to the clutch switch and the side stand switch, so the bike won't start if it is not in neutral, unless the stand is up and the clutch lever is pulled in. check the kill switch isn't on, make sure the bike's in neutral [don't just rely on the neutral light] and try with a fully charged battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
