Default tip over sportster switch

yesterday I stopped when to pickup something and lost balance. the bike went down on the right side, it was running and it shut off. picked it up and it would not start. everything works, light turn signals, engine lights. but when I try the start button, nothing happens, no clicks or any noise. tried cycling the on & off, disconnected the battery, took the tip over switch under the battery out and shook it. jumped the starter relay and the engine started to crank. but nothing when I hit the start button. any ideas?

On the baggers you turn the ignition off and on a series of times to reset after a tip over. Not sure about the sporty but would presume it to be the same.

Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding.
Good Luck!!
