Lean angle sensor

When taking the bike to bits at the weekend I came across a lean angle sensor, can some one explain what that’s all about because the way I ride I will probably never see an indicator light, if indeed that’s what happens?

I know when I’m leaning too far for my ability because, well let’s not go there!!!

 

It cuts the fuel if the bike is lay on its side; its for safety.

(I think)

 

Oh I see, I was looking for the stabilisers to pop out but couldn't find them lol

 

If you put it back on the wrong way, it'll end up cutting the bike out mid-wheelie. I've seen someone slam a wheelie down & nearly be fired over the handle bars due to that error.

 

hence the big word UP on it and 2 arrows haha
imagine if didnt have this esp on road, you could be injured and bike still be revving away etc for abit or cause more damage by the bike itself moving or something
you can get a hrc unit for more lean etc

 

Thanks guys it sounds obvious now ?

 

I can see the next bar room biker brag "forget getting your elbow down, I lean that far my bank angle sensor trips"
