The bank angle sensor is a safety device which consists of a metal ball that sits between two electrical contacts which completes the power circuit to the ignition coil.
If the bike is leaned at too extreme an angle -- or dropped -- that ball rolls from between the two contacts and the circuit is interrupted, thus killing power to the coil and subsequently stopping the motor.
