Exclamation 03 Roadglide starts and dies-tipped over

Hi all, I could use some help. My Anniversary Roadglide slipped off the stand yesterday when I was moving it in the garage, tipped onto its' left side for a few minutes til I could get it back up. Now its starts right up but dies almost immediately. If I wait gor the fuel pump to stop running, which sounds normal, it starts right up and dies. It just won't stay running as if it's not getting fuel after initial fire up. tank is about 1/4 full....any suggestion/solutions would be greatly appreciated, got a ride tomorrow. Thanks, DaveM

There is a "bank angle sensor" in the TSSM. After the bike is laid down, the ignition has to be in the OFF position for a certain amount of time before trying to start it.

Has this condition corrected itself, or is it still happening?

On the earlier Buells, you had to recycle the ignition 45 times

All Better Now !!

You guys are a hoot-I can just imagine someone sitting there cycling that Buell 45 times! Bank angle sensor ? Turns out there is something to this, it's related to the security system. Thanks for triggering my memory that the security was on when I moved the bike, so when it went over it locked it out. Put security back on, then off again and it started right up.

Yes I can !!!! Did for a guy in a downpour, after he tipped it over while trying to put his raingear on. We were in the middle of nowhere when I saw him standing on the side of the road in this storm. Called a Buell dealer & he told me what to do. (45 or 50 times) This was several yrs ago now , there is still a bank angle sensor, but it is much easier to reset I think. Glad you got it going.
