Not into stunting but also wanted to congratulating you for doing it in a secluded area; not pissing off the masses. I posted because I wanted to mention this:

I don't know if that specific Honda is "wet-sump" or "dry-sump" oiling system. In the video at second 40ish until 48ish after you bailed, you got up & celebrated w/your bud while the bike continued to run on it's side. I can understand that, but my point is:

If it's a "wet-sump" oiling system, the bike running on it's side can be catastrophic to the engine. The sump pump pickup will be gulping air during that time, feeding air to the lower-end main bearings (crank), along w/everything else. Causing bearings to score/fail/get damaged. It's an easy way to needing a new engine.

My suggestion is to either run a "lanyard" (some call it a "tether") to the kill switch so it immediately cuts-off should you leave the seat, or get up -quick- & kill it saving your engine from a possible early demise.

Here's one for $12 at Orient Express Racing:

Again, just a suggestion. :teeth

You guys got skills, I couldn't do that. :thumbup

I know the F4i comes standard with a bank sensor. Maybe this one was defeated? Or the cage prevents it from properly functioning? It should have auto killed...

whats up guys, i havent visited this part of the forum in awhile but thought i would answer the questions for ya.

the kill switch is a big no-no. it seems khan is still getting the fundementals on lock (no offense khan) and he is doing a great job at it but the second he starts doing any tricks off the seat a lanyard switch would get him hurt or killed. when he starts doing any type of highchair tricks (feet over the top of handle bars) he can easily hit a stationary on off switch and kill the bike sending him flying. most factory switches are moved so they dont get hit.

the bank sensor ussually gets removed for one of the same reasons, you dont want to kill the bike accidently while doing a wheelie, little wheelies are fine but put a bike a little past the 12 o clock position or have the sensor malfunction while you are doing something at speed and your asking for trouble.

hopefully that helps, and khan great work keep it up.:thumbup
