Came close to messing bike up today.

Well i was rolling on the street when i came close to my garage. I went to pull my left foot down to the ground. My shoe got stuck between the shifter and the peg. I had the bike in gear so I held the clutch as i went down. 3/4 of the way my foot comes loose. The bike falls on the ground and I roll off it. Mind you I still had my hand on the clutch. After a good to minutes the sensor finally tells the bike to turn off. This bike was built very good. The bar ends had little scuffs and on my pipe. The plastic never touched the ground. Boy was i happy about that. I get up and picked the bike up. I tried to restart it in gear but it would start. Even after turning it on and off a couple of times. I then put it in neutral and everything was back to normal. This is the first bike I had that when flat on the ground the fairings didnt touch. I guess the bar ends and foot pegs did their job. It could have been worse.

I'm thinking it wouldn't start because the tip sensor was activated.
When I added washers to my tip sensor, i played with it(tipped it)
1st time I tried to start the bike afterward, I pl;ayed with the kill switch, and the key couple of times then it fired up.... no problems other than the one time after tip switch was activated.

Some are not worthy of the effort.
