Idle adjustment moved higher?

Tip over is like a pendulum. A wire dangles either to the right or left. The ball is rolling as the ground. You tip the bike over, the ball rolls onto the wire and it grounds the coils say, she shuts off = Period! No restarting.

So, if say the tip over was a problem, you need to show the factory how you ride; if you can cut the tip over switch off while riding.

Ya-what Hub said-except!!!She will start again once the bike is upright and the ignition is cycled from ON to OFF and then ON for the fresh start.(assuming the ignition was ON at the tip over,otherwise,just restart as normal).(key OFF,then ON).Only time mine did that was when I inadvertently pushed the stop switch with my palm.Taped her "ON" with a tad of scotch tape.(didn't realize that's what it was till I tried almost everything(like kickstand,neutral,battery voltage check,clutch "in").THEN............happened to glance over and that little switch just "didn't look right".Yep clicked er to run-fired right up.Geez-talk about relieved!(I'm like 200 miles from home-hell of a long way to push my baby!)
