Default Tip Sensor?

Bone head move on my part not double checking the rider in front of me at T intersection, heard him rolling on the throttle as im looking left then as I look forward he decides to stop...front tire square into his hitch. No damage but of course over I went and bike went off. After lifting up (thanks youtube) it wouldnt start until turn main switch off/on. Maybe it was me missing the kill switch or was off, dont know as all happened fast. Once reset everything all was well and fortunately only minor scratch on lower front bar. So is the some type of tip sensor or just me missing something in the fog of panic?

Tip sensor. Usually it will say “tip” in the odometer. Like you found out, cycling the ignition is the way to clear it.

Cool that was my gut feeling, read the owners manual years ago so likely where I recall from. Eyes never made it to radio face to see a message, too concerned for my flopped over ride.

My 07 will flash tip on the radio. 01 no radio, so doesn't flash anything. You can test it by lowering it into the grass. I don't think it is 100% I think I have had to turn it off once or twice.
