I was doing some "figure 8's" in a parking lot and leaning my 2022 V85TT over pretty far. Straightened it out and it just died. Hmmm WTF??!!
The starter spun freely, all the switches were in their proper position. So what happened?
Best I can figure is there is a "lean angle" switch for the fuel pump that cuts fuel at a certain angle.

My "fix"? I checked all the fuses first then I put the bike on the center stand/level, disconnected the battery, wait 30 seconds reconnect. That seemed to work.
 
Were you slightly low on fuel by chance? No way a tip-over sensor would kill the engine in cornering while riding. That or you hit the kill switch, or bumped the kickstand while doing it. All I'll add.
 
Thanks for the feedback!
Bike was over pretty far scraping pegs and I managed to "bump" it a bit before it got straightened back upright.
No issues since then.
 
Hummm, this reminds me of a time I was at one of those traffic lights that motorcycles cannot trigger.
I went to lean the bike on the side stand - That wasn’t down, and I went a ways over before I managed to bring it back up, pulling a muscle in my thigh :(
it would not start for a few tries after !
That must have triggered the tip over sensor !
