Night Train won't start!
 
I have an 02 night train that I accidentally tipped over on it's side and now it won't start. Does anyone know what would be preventing it from starting?

There is a lean over cutout. you need to recycle the main switch I believe by turning it several times from Off, to Access,to On, and back again. Do this a couple of times. this resets the ignition, I think. Sorry I don't have my manual handy, but I'm sure someone else will know.. in the mean time try my suggestion.

Thanks agapsdiver. I found some instruction in my service manual. It's called the Bank Angle Sensor. It told me to do exactly what you said to do. I'll let you know if it works.

Hmmmmm... no wonder I couldn't find it again in my manual..
"Bank ..." why didn't they name it Tip-Over or Lean-Over sensor, then I could have found it.

Well I tried cycling the "On" "Off" switch and it didn't work. Any other ideas?

Is it cranking? If running and it drops, just turning key off and back on resets it. If the key was off, it would not matter. It's in the turn signal or alarm/turn signal and it kills the fuel pump on an FI bike. Does the turn signal light work? What is your voltage reading on the battery lead terminals and on the metal wires eyes hooked to the battery?

Nope my bike won't crank over. Both turn signals work just fine. It wasn't running when it tipped over. I'll need to borrow a meter to check voltage.

Flip the bar switch to run.

Was anything at all damaged when it feel over? Clutch, shifter any wiring? Is battery leaking are connections tight? Is the battery full charge? Any fuses blown? You need to start from scratch and start going through checklist things that it could be. Maybe battery died coincidentally and your over looking it or something along that line.
