tilt sensor

hi i think ive got a faulty tilt sensor , ive put a volt meter on the bue wire and yellow wire and im getting a reading of 3.9v, it says in the haynes manual this is the reading if the bikes on its side, (when upright should read 0.4-1.4v between yellow and blue wires) the sensor is orintated correctly though? no matter which way i put sensor im getting 3.9v?

Take it out and put a 470 ohm resistor across the yellow/green and black/blue wires. That should solve any problems with it.

God forbid you ever tip it, but at least replacing it would ensure your engine would stop in the eventuality. I'd prolly do as Speed8 suggests though (in true locost spirit)

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!!!!!! IVE GOT A SPARK!

well ...

it all came down to two things

1. Faulty tilt sensor

2.One of the red/black wires was loose, these were crimped by yamaha! (advise anyone to solder these and not trust a crimp) trouble was i couldnt see it cause it was all insulated.

all i need now is to connect fuel line and it should start, as i now have all the elements

A big ,big thanks to all the guys who have helped, i know this subject has been touched alot, but when you think you've got everything right, something else bites you in the ass!
