This quote is from the service manual...DFI section...pg3-73.It is"When the motorcycle is DOWN(as in 'just happened'),the ignition switch is LEFT ON.IF the starter button is pushed,the electric starter TURNS,but the engine does not start.To start the engine again,raise the motorcycle,turn the ignition switch OFF,then ON.When the ignition switch is turned ON,current flows through the latch-up circuit and the transistor in the circuit is turned ON to unlock the latch-up circuit".So...if the sensor is dangling maybe or broken off...this is what you're gonna get.However...if the sensor is fine,then it won't be that cause the key OFF and back ON would have reset the transistor deal.It could however have been pulled loose further up the wiring when that left side fairing let go.It still should code however while cranking if it's sensor related.
Okay...how long are you allowing her to crank?Crank without stopping for at least 10 seconds or so.I know....sounds like bad advice.1)It's not starting....it's getting ready to code again...or start.Let it crank....give the starter a minute or two rest(cooldown) and go for it again.See if she codes.2)Open that throttle all the way.Crank as you're doing this.It should throw an 'FI ERROR' on the display.When it does,use the two button deal to find the number(s).DO NOT TURN KEY OFF!It MAY reveal the previous code from before..maybe.If it codes(a number)related to flooding or something along the 'throttle' items...probably forget it.Just related to what you just did.But you MIGHT want to save the number anyway.
No prob...right side(sitting on bike)...connected with a bracket ONTO THE MIRROR BRACKET.Pull windshield,stand in front of your bike,look straight down and a bit to your left.That gray colored rectangular deal with the wire(s) coming from the top of it.Plugged in?Good.It's not the tipover sensor.Doesn't appear in your pics that that part of the bike got damaged at all.You have power,yes?She cranks,YES?Any error code for 'vehicle down sensor' showing up?There IS one...starting with our famous disappearing 'FI ERROR" display.It's NOT the sensor then.I had to do a restore of my cowl and stuff cause I wrecked my bike in 07..new.I threw away that sensor not realizing what it was...being connected to my then broken mirror bracket.I got EVERYTHING back together...new parts and stuff.Went to start my baby.Nothin.NADA.No cranking,Nothin.Checked all my possibles.Everything but THAT SENSOR.Gotta say..all the electrics were working though.Just wouldn't crank.Got my manual out and looked in the 'troubleshooting' section.Lo an' behold...there it was...'engine will not crank'vehicle down sensor...wiring open or short'(something like that).Ya...open alright.Wasn't even IN there!What a dufe.Fun tryin to find that sucker in the parts fiche as well.It's NOT where you would expect it to be listed!
Looked again at that one pic there.Ya...if that mirror bracket got hit,and snapped in there,I guess the connector COULD get pulled loose...maybe.But I'm more inclined to think it's related to your radiator situation...low water or none.I really don't think my bike turned over when that sensor was gone.Power and all did come on.
