    I have a friend who owns a 1982 or so Goldwing 1200. When making a sharp
    curve & laying the bike over somewhat, the engine just dies causing a
    complete laydown of the bike. He has been told that it has some type of
    leveling sensor that is causing it to die, but it seems like a carburetor
    problem to me! I am thinking of buying it from him, but want to explore the
    options of what it might cost to diagnose & fix the problem. Anyone out
    there have any advice or similar problems with this sort of thing? I
    appreciate any & all help!!!

    Sounds like a faulty tip-over switch. These are designed to kill the
    fuel supply in case the bike is laid down in a crash.
