ZZR1400 Tilt Sensor
It seems as though this bloody device causes all sorts of issues with my engine. It was mounted flat with the dome facing up, and this made it cut
out on fast acceleration, once I took it apart, I could see why this happened and mounted it vertical so the wheel sat into the bowl bottom as such, I
was convinced this would cure my problem and again tried it down the drive and back up. I stalled it not giving enough Gas, once again, no start, put
it back on the flat and it cracked up again, I cained it into the garage just incase in felt like stalling again, which it didn't.
Does anyone recommend just glueing this device up?
Does anyone think that this is the main cause to the stall?
Any advice would be great.
Also, a friend has suggested something about the secondry butterflies causing issue's between 1st to 3rd gear, what are the feelings with
this?
Golly, I though running a bike engined car would be rather easy, it turns out, like bloody hell it is. :-)

Hi Nick
you can silicone these up and there ok with that but is it mounted horizontaly accros the car or front to rear as in this case that will tip the
sensor enough when your down a drive to cause the tip sensor to operate

Cheers Malcolm,
It is mounted left to right on the car now, and mounted with the arrow and wording saying up as in vertical with an L mount bracket onto the top of
the Scuttle.
I could say why it did it before, but was not sure why it did it tonight, I can only think I accelerated to much and it span infront of the sensor.
What do you think to my theory? :-)
I think I shall try Bluetack this weekend and then, like you say, Silicone

surely its completely surplus to requiremnts
so cant you just get rid if it and if its a normally open circuit just unplug from the loom or if its a normally closed circuit then connect the wires
together ????
you'll save weight as well

Unfortunately you cant just unplug it - the Japanese are getting increasingly clever with their ecu,s and it will expect to see the tilt sensor
connected or it will start throwing up fault codes.
Similarly a CBR1000rr will run without its Hi - vix servo connected but low and behold 5 degrees of advance go missing from the mid range and a fist
full of power

Yesterday, I was sorting out the loom of my 2006 ZX12R and found the "vehicle down" aka "tilt sensor" in the battery tray.
If you mount it correctly with the rubber bushings, why should you try to bypass it ? It's a nice safety feature that will shut down the engine
if you flip over the car.

Because you subject it to sideways G forces in a car that it is not subjected to on a bike (bike leans so G is always down axis of the bike, unless
you drop it).
