Can anyone tell me where this is located please?

Hi all.

under your seat, if you stand on the left of bike right next to the edge of the petrol tank. Got a black and black with white wires on it ;)

Brilliant. Thank you. How do i know which way up it should be and if it is damaged? I have NIL experience with these....

It's a simple job to remove and open up (just a couple of screws).It's a simple loop of metal with a floating ring the makes and breaks the circuit as it falls along the loop

Oh and mine has an arrow to show which way is "up"

Thank you. I need to check this as i did wiggle it about yesterday to get battery in... hmmmm

if you've got a multi-meter, you can measure the resistance across the switch - but I can't remember what it should be, but (and I'm sorry to do this, although Andy will be please) it has been covered and should be in the search results.

Cheers, Much appreciated.

This will NOT be the cause of your starting but failing to run issues, the tilt switch cuts fuel supply so you will not be able to start at all.
You can completely rule out the switch by using insulation tape to make sure the sliding contact can't move across its bridge.
Sorry but look elsewhere, injectors,relays, fuel pump and related wiring.
I've spent many hours looking at fuel supply problems so feel free to ask

Thanks, I may take you up on that. I have ran out of patients with the bloody thing if I am honest. Just one thing after another. I don't use it enough to warrant issues. I like to go to a bike, push the start button, ride it - job done. The Falco fails to satisfy this simple expectation!

Vacuum lines? Got a scottoiler on it? Maybe the vac line has fallen off

no scottoiler on it. I have checked all fuel lines and will check again tomorrow hopefully. Weather allowing.

vacuum lines are not part of the fuel lines....

look at ALL the hosing around the throttle bodies - not just what is coming from the fuel tank
