help, bike fell over and wont start

[ihandyman247]

What can I say , every day is a school day !
If the bike had more fuel in the tank it will have started straightaway ?
The answer probably is YES







I think the bike was to empty and that's way fall down

I posted a fuel tank diagram last year and am still non the wiser

For certain, if you drop the bike on its right side, when low on fuel, and I am not talking very low, just low ish, then it probably wont start. Even keeping the bike upright and spinning the starter didn't help when I was stuck on a byway in the middle of nowewhere on Losttheplot's ride. You need to tip it to the left, then you'll be OK.
