Does the 2001 Tiger 955i have a tip sensor?

Hello All,
I am currently trying to chase down an electrical gremlin in my 2001 Tiger 955i (intermittent stall) and have discovered that some (all?) Tigers have a tip-over sensor (to shut the bike down if it falls over).  I have looked my bike over but I cannot find any evidence of a tip sensor.  Did the 2001 models have them?  If so, where is it and are they prone to failure?

Thanks in advance.

No, it doesn't but if he has one he now knows what to look for.

Thanks for the input on the tip sensor.  I have been trying to solve an intermittent stall problem and I think I may have found a likely culprit...I had my bike apart for the past week to install new metal fuel connectors (thank you Evil Betty for the excellent write-up), new fuel filter, new plugs, new K&N air filter, and a throttle-body synchronization.  While I was synch'ing the throttle bodies, I smelled smoke.  I looked down and saw that the connector coming from the stator/alternator was cooking.  The bike had only been running for 2 minutes and the connector was too hot to touch.  So, I am wondering if poor connections between the stator and the R/R could cause an intermittent stall (i.e., the voltage changes cause the computer to shut down momentarily).  

Any thoughts on this?

Oh yeah, by the way, I have already changed the stator connector and everything is back to normal.
