Hi guys, I have just had my bike ('08 YBR125) in the garage for a couple of days as it wouldn't start. The electric starter tries to turn the engine but the engine itself doesn't want to know. It's happened a few times and I have been able to start it in the end by sheer determination and various key/throttle/button jiggerypokery. Anyway the other day it wasn't having any of it. The guys at the garage have said they have whittled it down to the Lean Angle Sensor or 'Tilt Switch'. I am not so sure about this - would it even allow the ignition to start trying to turn the engine over if this was faulty? I am hoping its not a faulty ECU... Essentially they want £60 labour and £75 for the part which I think is expensive. The problem is I have found a part on ebay and can fix it myself but if its not the part itself then I am back to square one. The garage guys also said they'd 'be wary' of ebay parts (I am not so bothered generally) and if the ebay part is 'faulty' as it's been taken off a broken bike then they will have no option but to try a £75 sensor of their own. I almost want them to get the £75 sensor and prove it doesn't fix the problem! Has anyone got any experience in these sensors and what the net result of a faulty one would be? I'd really appreciate it as I want to get back on my bike asap - I have now passed my DAS and need to get rid of the poor old ybr. Cheers! Jonny
