Lesson learned ... tip over/bank angle sensor

[Glamisman]

The T.O.S. on my 2004 GSXR 600 is not capable of being disassembled like the ones on the GSXR1300's so the silicone/goop method won't work... at least on mine.

REmove it. Chech resistance with ohmmeter. Splice(solder) in appropriate resistor in place of sensor. VIOLA!!!

On the 04 GSXR600 it is a 3 wire TOS ...

Do you have a wiring diagram? If so can you post or email it? Tim

You know what, I think the tip over switch might be the answer to your prayers. Find out what ohm resistor you need and make a little plug with the resitor in it that plugs into the harness. Something like the little chips that cars use, you have to plug in the little chip to start the car. Here's the deal, anyone can hotwire a streetbike motor. You guys that are taking the sidestand switch and running a key on it are wasting your time. All you need is a pair of wire cutters to cut the 2 wires going to the ignition key and twist them together. By using a little plug with the resistor in it and a deep socket for the wires to touch, how many people are gonna have a correct ohm resistor on them to plug into the circuit to make it run? It's basically a chip key. It is prob. the best antitheft device you can have and you can make as many as you want for backups. Don't make it somewhere obvious and don't tell people where you put it. You only need to take it out when you won't be driving for a while, or you can leave it in all the time........

You stole my idea Yoshi... the problem that I am having is finding a decent vibration resistant, sand free easy to use mechanical/electrical interface for the "key" to fit into. For now I have a few "key" that are made up using GM weatherpack electrical connectors.

how about a sealed inline blade fuse holder then you could solder the resistor to the back side of the fuse....of course you wouls have to use a fuse that was blown for it to work properly

I don't think anyone should have to worry about their buggy getting stolen.......just do like the used to do in the Western days......hang the horse/buggy thieves............15 cents is alot cheaper than a jury trial.......God forbid I catch anyone messing with my buggy.........I know a lot of places to hide a body so no one can find it............

ok, here's a few thoughts for you on the TOS sensor replacement -> antitheft 'key'.....

first, a 1/4" panel mount phone jack and right angle plug (about $8 from radio whack) could do the job. solder resistor(s) into cap on plug. pretty robust and not too big. need 3 connectors? use a stereo set. i captured some images out of an old electronics surplus catalog to show the parts and what you can find them for out in the wild.

second idea: for 2 connections, get say a 6.5" chrysler door speaker and a stub of wiring harness. the speaker side has a tab mount and the harness connector will friction hold if you break off the locktab on the speaker side. solder and cover with hot glue or epoxy and it's sealed well enough to carry in your pocket.

just my .02

Switching to a 2004 gsxr 600 also,,,,,,,,,do not want an anti-theft key.

With the 3 wires on the 04, how do you bypass the tip over sensor? *Do you tie 2 wires together and then solder in a resister from the 3rd wire to these?
If so in the attached pic, would I tie the brown-black to the red and then run a resister off that , back to the black?

Attached is the wiring page from my clymers manual for any of you electrical guru's
