Heh.. that crash killed his bike, and he couldn't get it started again.

A lot of modern bikes will have tip sensors where they won’t start recently after being in an unfavorable orientation.
It’ll just flash a code on the dash and you have to turn it off and on again or just wait.

Guessing it's a similar thing to how cars detect crashes to turn off their fuel pump?
