  If it does turn out to be the Roll over sensor, it can be by-passed or cheated with a voltage devider... A couple of resisters, easy.    But it SHOULD reset once righted and a restart , as mentioned above.   It will NOT give you a code if it has "tilted". You will just notice a shorter duration of the fuel pump priming when the kill switch is set to run.  You WILL get a code... 1-5... if there is a problem with the roll over sensors circuit.  Like a bad wire, or an unplugged sensor....

That's the one I used NGK LB05EP.
Easy to install and works very well.

Wolfietj:

Recheck the obvious things.
Engine Kill Switch on?
Sidestand up?
Fuel in tank?

The motorcycle has a built in "Roll Over Switch" and if it has fallen over the switch will activate, killing the engine.

Here's what the 2011 Owners Manual says to do if the ROS is tripped.

"To reset the Roll over sensor in the event the motorcycle falls over.  Please put the motorcycle in (sic) its centre stand, switch off both the ignition switch and the stop switch on the handle bar RE control, wait for a few seconds and switch ON the ignition switch and the stop switch again.  This ill help to RESET the "Roll over Sensor" and the engine can be started."

If everything is as it sould be, when you turn on the ignition switch the speedometer and tach needles will move around the dial and then come to a rest at zero.

You should hear the fuel pump start and run for a few seconds while the fuel pressure is built up in the hose to the fuel injector.

The check engine light should light for a few seconds and then go out.

Once these things have happened, hit the electric start button.

The transmission must be in neutral or, the clutch lever pulled in or the starter motor won't run.

If the engine is very cold, you should use the "bi starter" lever on the left hand grip by pushing it down and holding it while the engine is cranking.  This is not a choke but it does the same job by increasing the idle speed.  The fuel injector sensors will recognize the increase in airflow and richen the air/fuel mixture.

Yeeeess!!!

it starts!!!

thanks for your help guys, arizoni's walktrough worked perfectly, and regarding the spark plug wire i took one of my Bonneville and used that.
