890 fell over, cracked tank?

"Sad day...the wind was strong enough this morning to blow my brand new ADV R over. Gas tank got cracked, ripped my cover, plastics are gouged, and she wont start."

Doesn't seem right from a blow over, guys drop these in rocks!

Out of gas?

Well that totally bites! Tank should handle a solid beating with cosmetic blemish. What's up with that cracking stuff? Won't start as in doesn't fire or makes no sound at all?

My 950 wouldn’t start after I hisided it running through the woods at 40 mph one day a long time ago . Landing upside down banged up stuff in the control console and it blew a fuse . It was fine after I straightened it out and replaced the fuse . I didn’t start worth a crap either for a few days .

That is crazy, I could maybe see it if the outside temp was below freezing (maybe)

Bummer

Some bikes I think have a sequence to resetting auto fall kill switch.

Bike covers. Doing more harm than good since they were invented.
