Has that engine ever cut out when laying the bike over going round bends ?
Because if that feature goes a bit doo laddy and cuts out laying over round bends ,then it's damn dangerous .
It isn't gyroscopic. It senses angle by direction of gravity. When going around corners, centrifugal force makes it think it is still upright.
