tip over switch
This has happened twice in the past year!
Cruising along at 70 I hit a pot hole (HARD) with my 10 cvo ultra and next thing I know I'm dead on the side of the highway. I rocked the ignition switch three or four times and nothing happened. I pulled up a piece of guard rail and contemplated calling for roadside assistance but as I was looking at the bike I saw my gauge needles move. I turned the ignition on and voila it came back to life. Has anyone else experienced this issue with their cvo and do you know where the tip switch is located? I want to jump that out somehow so this doesn't happen again.

i never experienced this with 200k on baggers
i do think they shut down when knocked over
either talk to your dealer regarding this experience or put it on the touring or general section so you get some reaction

My 08 street bob shut off and the odo said tip on it. It's was a serious bump riding 2 up tho. Happened twice. Only on a real big bump tho. I guess I know the feature works anyway

My '10 fxdwg did this pulling out of parking lots to the right. If you tipped it close to dragging a peg it would die. and say "tIP" on the ODO usually a few seconds after the hard turn and while accelerating with cars on my a**. It took many times of all most being run over in heavy traffic to figure out that the first owner had Lo Jack installed and it compromised the mounting of the turn signal module which had the tip sensor inside. Putting the turn module back to the stock location (not 45 degrees of of HD's install location) and removing and throwing lo jack in the garbage fixed my issue permanently. I don't want it back if someone steals it!

You might want to start looking a little farther ahead and avoid the potholes, the "Tip over Switch" is going to be the least of your worries if you keep blowing through Potholes.
