Arrow cant figure out the TIP OVER SWITCH!

long story short I wake up today to find some a**hole hit my bike, and left it knocked over. Its scraped up on the side, mirror and turn signal smashed and now it wont start.

From what Ive been reading it might be the "tip over switch" but I cant figure out for the life of me how to reset it?

any help/ ideas would be a life saver

its an 04 f4i - thanks

search bypass bank angle sensor

I'd guess the fall knocked it out of alignment tho, so it thinks the bike is still tipped over. Turning the bike off and on should have reset it

You tried bypassing the sensor and still nothing?

What exactly is your bike doing when you try to start it?

Your problem is that your motor is hydrolocked. It fell over, layed there for who knows how long, and the oil leaked into and filled the combustion chambers. You need to remove the spark plugs, cover the holes with rags, and hit the starter button, then watch the oil fly outta the holes.
