Default Won’t start after tipover 2014 heritage

Yeah. Went down in a camping spot try to park! Turned off ignition and with help got her up. Now it won’t start. I’m assuming there’s some kind of fuel shut off or something that it does automatically and some secret sequence to resolve it- I hope so! We’re only here for one night and I’m really hoping it’ll start in the morning- I tried some diagnostic sequence which did nothing. Gonna try disconnecting positive cable tomorrow??? Is that even a thing? Anyway. Experienced help reall appreciated.

Don't know what bike you have but for my 2007 heritage:

Should motorcycle be tipped over, the word "tip" will appear in the odometer window. Engine will not start until reset. To reset, cycle ignition/headlamp key switch ON*-OFF-*ON.

Post your year and model. There's plenty of people more knowledgeable than me that can help.

yeah- I edited to include year and model. Guess I’m still a little shook- I feel stupid and sick about it!

As mentioned cycle the ignition a couple of times and it should start right up provided you have the fob with you should it have security.

From the 2014 Heritage owners manual:

Tip Indicator If tip occurs, check all controls for proper operation. Restricted control movement can adversely affect the performance of the brakes, clutch or ability to shift, which could result in loss of vehicle control and death or serious injury. (00350a) Should motorcycle be tipped over, the word "tiP" appears in the odometer window. The engine will not start until reset.

Reset: To reset, set the motorcycle upright and turn the ignition switch OFF* IGN.

Sounds as though you've already tried that
