The bike was laid over on its side. Simply turn off the ignition and kill switch then turn them back on.

It usually means you dropped your bike.

Has always been straight,I tried to turn it on after 6 months and found written tip.
Turn on all, fuel pump, lights, turn signals, but does not turn the starter motor.

Turn on the kill switch then turn the ignition switch off and on 5 times. That should do it.

Sounds like it may be a problem with the sensor or wiring causing the bike to thinks it is on its side.
