Default Wondering about fuel injected bike

Im looking into buynig a fuel injected bike. The guy said he knocked it over in his garage so its a little scuffed on the right side, but he said the bike wont start unless the handle bars are turned to the left just right. Let me know if this could be a bigger problem or if it could be something stupid like a pinched line. Cant tell you too much more about the bike though as i havent seen it yet. He says after it is started it runs fine

Will the fuel pump only prime if the handle bars are turned? If so it sounds like a loose connection somewhere. It could be a easy fix but it could be a huge pain cause electrical problems suck. It took me over a year to figure my electrical gremlin on my F4i. If it was me I would probably just walk away and find a bike without the issues.

Either a pinched line or a wiring problem. It's possible one of the wires has been broken and only makes contact when lined up just right.
