    Tip over switch working well

    Well got to find out that my Tip over switch is working on the RSVR today on a ride . Was heading home after a ride & was moving along going up Mt Messenger when I came out of a sharp right hander & went to full throttle to the next corner when it all went very quite & lost power coming to a bunny hop stop . What the fuck i'm thinking has happened had just finished giving the bike a full service & shim check , tryed restarting her but just turned over with no spark . Off came the seat pod & out with the tools to take the seat off as well as check the fuses up in the front of the bike . 3 friends road past & turned round just after a couple of cars had stopped to see if all was OK . Fuses where ok & wasn't till I got the seat off that we noticed a black unit lying on its side beside the battery , mate told me it was my Tip over sensor & it needed to be up right on a bracket beside the battery so clipped it back on to it & pushed the starter & She fired back into life again ARHHHHHHH relief . So learnt something more about the Aprilia today & have Zip tied the TOS so as not to have another scare . Now all I have to do is find something to get the burnt glue of my muffler that the Akrapovic sticker has left there after melting off from the quick ride home .

    You can excuse it on something high performance like a gixxer.

    But on a slow old tractor? pfft.
