I need to know if anyone can walk me through how to reset the tilt sensor on my RC51; i high-sided, slid the bike about 100 feet and can't get the engine to turn over. Coil, fuse, plugs and fuel line are all good, fuel pump turns on with ignition, but no fuel or spark. I'm guessing it's not as complicated as I'm making it. Thanks in advance.

addendum: i'm not looking to bypass the sensor....don't wanna end up as a ball of flames should i lay it down and have fuel on the ground. i just want to know if can be reset, and no, it's not like a goldwing (thanks anyway).

Throw it down on the other side to reset it (heh)

It has 3 wires and needs to be in circuit to work.
Its automatic, resets when the bike is upright.
You can bypass it by cutting around the sealer where the wires enter case and removing the main body so the switch/weight part is removed. You end up with a rubber block about half inch thick, 2"x3" with 3 wires connected to it.
It does invalidate warranty and of course is no longer available as a 'safety feature'

If its anything like the one on a goldwing there is no adjustment/setting to it. Basically its a little swinging weight (oil dampened) in a plastic case (one of Hondas better ideas-not).
Personally I'd unplug the damn thing and remove it. Maybe yours is stuck somehow, just unplug the two wires and see what happens.
