Do you want to know so you can do cool stuff like spin kiddy playground carousels with the back tyre? 8)

i also noticed he shut the bike down when he got of to open the gate when he got through was straight on the throttle must have warmed up the motor before recording started. Most bikes now days have machine angle sensors that shut the bike down usually when they are on their side.many years ago i used a simple mercury switch from an old outboard motor as a bike down killswitch after seeing a mate get his arm riped apart by a rear wheel still doing 160 ks when he finaly caught up to his bike
If it aint broke don't fix it just gain more horsepower

Ummm tipover sensors are nothing new but they are certainly overactive unless they only work when the bike is laid down... otherwise the thing would shut down when knee down
