    It can be done by simply removing it and splicing the wires together. However, I don't recommend it. If your bike falls over, the tilt sensor shuts off the fuel pump. If your bike is running, it'll stop. If it's on fire, fuel stops being fed. There are no inherant problems that I'm aware of, warranting it's removal. (IE: Suzuki's tend to stutter on hard cornering as there sensor is more sensitive)

    However...it's your bike. "

    I've (and so have loads of people) scraped pegs on track and never been an issue mate - and not heard anyone having an issue - so I really wouldn't worry about it!?

    Have to agree with the guys here, i'm no pro but iv'e had the bike proper cranked over on the track with no issues, only when i came off on the road and the bike was lying on its side did the tilt sensor kick in and cut the engine out. needed when it was needed, not only to cut the fuel off but to prevent engine damage due to running without oil whilst lying in a slightly inverted position.

    I wouldn't bugger about with what is essentially a safety aid dude. You may need it one day.

    I only seem to get a small stall but this is only when I get the elbow and shoulder dug in deep to the Tarmac but when on the loose road clippings if I lift it an inch it seems fine .
