When an EFI bike falls over then the BAS ( bank angle sensor ) triggers the ECM to shut off power to the relay . To reset the system upright the bike , have the kill button in the run position and cycle the ignition off then back on with 3 seconds in between positions 4 times.

Welcome to the board silky. Sorry you came in with a problem, but you should have a cure for it soon I hope. You might want to disconnect while you charge. The computer will reset, and might could make a difference as well. I too would think the ignition reset should do it. I have been there! (-:

Get the codes by holding your odometer reset button in and turn on your ignition switch to on position, once your odometer and tack cycle sweep full scale release the odometer reset button, you will see diag where the mileage shows, then press the odometer once, your will see letters, note which one is blinking, write it down then report back here.

Good morn all...well went in garage and the charger is still on red. But i did the following from all your advice and am here to report back. I did the following From drunkanfu, i had the kill button in run position and cycle the iginition off and on 4 times. I heard the hummiing i think that is from the fuel system the first time...3 times after nothing. I tried to start it and did not start. Then i went with wtb3886 advice and was able to do this...wow you guys are great. Any ways i did it and it came up with "P55PE" everytime i hit the reset button for mileage the letter will flash. Hopefully you guys know this code. Thank you so very much for the help you guys are the greatest.

I am sorry that I can not help with that code. I have had the same, foot on sand issue and tipped a bike over as a result. I was able to get mine going again with the above tips. I want to sign on here to see what the fix for yours is.

The P55Pe is actually PSSPE and not a code. It is a section of the diagnostics. You have to hold the reset button in when you get to that point.

I believe your tilt switch is underneath your rear fender but not sure
