My C5 fell over and now the injector pump and MIL are not coming on. I have power, fuses checked out, disconnected battery for 30 minutes then reconnected, checked connections to pump but still nothing. Removed seat and the Roll Over Sensor looks ok but could be the culprit.
Thoughts?

Definitely the roll over sensor.
It shuts off the fuel pump when the bike tips over.
I don't know the re-set procedure, but I'm sure somebody will chime in on that.

When the roll over sensor activates the reset is simple. Turn the bike upright and cycle the key. In other words turn the key off then back on again and let the ECU cycle.
If you are still having trouble better look at fuses and connections

I never saw the reason for a roll safely switch on a motorcycle until a young man who's pop I ride with had a off from a Turkey strike that wiped him right off the bike. The little 250 Ninja kept on going a bit 1/4 mile? and ended up on it's side in a bean field were the switch did it's job and shut it off. Without that switch the motor would have likely lost oil pressure and seized up OR it'd set the field on fire and gone up and a blaze.

The Owners Manual for my 2011 G5 Deluxe says to reset the roll over sensor, put the motorcycle on its center stand.
Switch of both   the Ignition switch AND the stop switch on the RH handlebar to the OFF position.

Wait a few seconds, then switch ON the ignition switch AND the stop engine switch.  The engine can now be started.   :)

Maybe both switches don't have to be messed with but this is what the book says.  8)

As stated above, the roll over sensor should be the main culprit. If, after you've tried the above suggestions, the fuel pump still doesn't cycle, try holding the clutch lever in and going in to first gear, and put it back in neutral. Try to start again.

The neutral/clutch switches can disable the starter, but I've never heard of them disabling the fuel pump.  Couldn't hurt to try it, though!

Anyway... is the roll-over sensor really "ok"?  The first time I laid eyes on mine, it was hanging at an odd angle by its wire; the screw holding it had fallen out early on in the game.  The bike still ran fine, but when I replaced the screw, I could see that it wasn't in its proper position without it.  Might be worth a look...

Thanks all. In my first post I should have noted I followed the Manual S.O.P.   I've tried all solutions posted thus far, including Youtube video on Roll Over Sensor, to no avail. Will order a new sensor tomorrow to see if that does the trick.

Is it possible the kill switch was damaged in the fall?

  Too bad there's no procedure for checking the roll over switch.

In this video is a sort of  test that might tell you if a roll over switch is at least working.

try disconnecting the side stand switch as well, just in case

I checked the power and side stand relays with a power source and multimeter and they are reading and clicking ok.
BTW, did anyone with a C5 ever locate the 20 amp fuse amongst the "angel hair pasta wiring harness"?
