    Ok so here's a recap of the last couple hours. Road the bike home from my friends house at around 11:30pm yesterday, got in the garage and forgot to put the kickstand down and dropped her. Picked her up and only broke the mirror. Ok so this morning at around 9:30am I get ready to ride her to work and turned the key on the guages sweeped and tac came up and everything, then I turn on the kill switch and no fuel pump or light? I tried hooking up to a battery pack and still nothing so I put her on the tender and left in my truck. My question is could it be the bank angle sensor? From when I dropped it the last night and if so how do I reset it. Or could it be that the battery mysteriously lost charge over night? I get off work at 6 then I'm gonna try messing around with it for a bit any tips or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!!

    sounds like the bank angle sensor to me. i have had luck tipping it in the opposite direction and then back upright to get it working again. mine has gotten stuck a few times. if you have ecmspy you can disable it and see if that works as well.

    The sensor it may be if the bike was running when you dropped it. But the sensor resets it self when you turn the key off and back on.

    Check your battery connection to make sure it wasn't bump loose. Also pop out the ignition and starter relays as one may have stuck from the drop, just unplug them then plug it back in.

    Problem sounds simple just have to find it. Sort of like an ordeal I had with my fiancé's bike a few days ago and all the problem was, was a bad ground

    I did the same thing last night when I was leaving work. I kept hitting the start button and nothing, hooked up the charger and nothing. I got all pissy and went to move the bike and it was in 1st! Oops glad your bike was o.k.

    I like it when it's simple. The bike hopefully wasn't scratched up. I'm sure she will forgive you once you put those new mirrors you been wanting on her anyways.
