When it fell it didn't loosen a sparkplug wire did it. Had a buddy at sturgis a few years back end up getting his bike hauled to the dealer and all it was a loose SP wire. Check everything I guess.

Well, that's kind of funny actually. All this time and you found out that you'd inadvertantly shut off the fuel petcock. It could have been worse, I guess. Congratulations on solving it.

OP says it's fuel injected, so no petcock.

I'm staying tuned for the pic of the thing.
