Guest Kanadian Ken Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Just pulled this piece off the wrecked front end I have. It was dead centre in the middle of the front nose, it is oriented with "UP" stamped on it. I scoured the service manual for it - can't see anyhting pointing to it. Anyone have any ideas what it might be? THree wires on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinyminds Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Bank angle sensor (Section 5-82) in honda service manual. If the bike drops below the 27 degree angle mark from horizonal, it shuts off firing to the cylinders. Anotherwords, it thinks your crashing. By shutting off firing to the cylinders, it keeps it from exploding in case of a gas leak. If its put on upside down, you will get NO (ZERO) firing from the plugs. Safety percaution.

Member Contributer tbzep Posted December 4, 2006 Member Contributer Share Posted December 4, 2006 What does a tip sensor do? Waiters and waitresses keep them on hand in order to know if a customer might potentially leave a big tip. If the tip sensor reads positive, they get all friendly, keep your beer mug or tea glass full, and the females rub their boobs on your back as they reach over to set your next beer on the table. If the tip sensor doesn't read positive, you probably won't see them again more than once or twice before getting the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer VFR FLYER Posted December 4, 2006 Member Contributer Share Posted December 4, 2006 bank angle sensor turns off ignition AND electric fuel pump. bike will not run when mounted upside down! the 5gen part is not marked this end up and i didn't know what is was either. the worst was trying to find info in the manual when one page says bank angle sensor and then you have to locate the stop engine relay on the next page! SAME PART! its electrical, so they must die sometime but never heard of one being replaced :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
