Tip-over shutoff feature?

[jbacklund]

Greetings! If I recall correctly, the 1973 TX750 would shut down if the bike's lean angle exceeded a certain high degree of lean, as in a tip over. I may be wrong about this 'feature', which would have been very advanced to have at that period. I was almost certain about this, but cannot find any verifiable reference to it. I thought it was mentioned in some of the magazine road tests of this bike, as well as possibly in a sales brochure. Can anyone here clear this up, or am I just nuts? By the way, I bought a new TX750 in early '73, rode it 16,000 miles over the next year, then sold it, and bought a 1974 Suzuki GT750 in early May of that year. The TX only stranded me several times

The TX didn't have this, but the XS 1100 has built in this, so that the machine stops immediately in case of an accident or even just toppling over.
The thing is called a tilt switch, but it can also be simply disconnected so that the drivers of the bike and the sidecar don't go crazy when cornering. Maybe you confused it with the TX's "Reserve Lightning System". Because that was really something unique back then! Greetings from www.tx750.de
