Default 2002 Electra glide won't start

So I tipped my 2002 Electra glide on a gravel road.i sat for 40 minutes or so before it started again.but then ran great all day. But the next day it would turn over but not start. It started for a few seconds n then died out n would start again.just turns over.what do you think is wrong?

From memory.
Generally a tip over reset requires a 3 on/off cycle of key switch.
The handle bar switch is kept on run during those cycles.
Then on the 4th try the bike can be started.

What is the fuel level?
What is condition of fuel tank internals?
How is the tip over sensor bracket?

On every bike I have tipped over, I just stand it back up and turn it back on. No funny cycling.

But being that is it is trying to start, I doubt it is bank angle sensor.
