Just got my recently aquired 1200 sport finished. it's had a full nut and bolt clean, new screen, bits of paint here and there, some nice racing stripes down the tank and an Agostini exhaust. I must say it's looking rather resplendent.
Anyhow, having the bike back together I stated it up, nothing, not even a click at the solenoid.

Searched around a bit and came across a black box in front of the battery. Moving it around indicated that there was something loose inside. Too big to be a solenoid or a relay, but it did have an arrow on it depicting which way it should sit in it's holder.
I put it back up the right way, low and behold, bike starts right up.

It turns out to be a tilt switch which cuts the engine should the bike tilt or fall beyond a certain level.

I honestly never knew that these things existed.

Cams???4V motor??Rollers?? Please tell me more, I've not read anything about that, anywhere...ever

Anyway mines still got silver parts so I'm only part knob.
Didn't you sell me the bike in the first place? half red, half silver? Was a good price so didn't ask too many questions.

What wuz you saying about cams again?
