I'd go tear mine apart to verify but I believe its under the left side cover Right on top of the rectifier bracket. either way it is reset-able as shown above it really just looks like a little fob plug.

Hunt is right they don't always detect a fall but I can say when they do work you'll freak out until you reset it :)

I have had it go off on two of my Rockets. Thought I really screwed something up until I went thru the reset procedure. There is two fault code for it like other sensors it high voltage and low voltage. No sure but I do not think that's a triggered problem but If someone will go kick their bike over and plug tune ecu in it we can see if it reads the condition and if tune ecu can reset it :D

I would but I have no one here to help this scrawny bugger pick the bike back up. :D :D

One thing for sure its just a couple twist in a row of the key to reset it why not try it?????

Check your kill switch. Otherwise it's most likely the sensor in your clutch lever that tells the bike to start. If you turn the key does anything happen?

Be of good cheer. I doubt there is anyone here that has owned a rocket for any length of time that hasn't dropped it at least once

If you weren't feeling Tits you probably wouldn't have fallen off in the first place, .... remember both hands on the bars and eye on the road where you are going

Over the years i developed this technique of twisting the left hand backwards in a position that alows ne to feel tits or whatever i want to feel whole riding one handed, very safe btw
 
i have dropped mine several times and a couple of times it stayed running with the back tire spinning and i had to shut off ign. never has it not started.also i have not found this fall detection thing.

Well I'm stuffed, none of this worked so the dealer will be collecting it on Friday, wish me luck, what a pain.
 
My guess is something to do with the clutch switch........
BTW, the "tip sensors" are very interesting things. Not all designed alike. The one on our Rockets is pretty complicated for such a small device. I was going to by-pass the one on my basket case build, but there is a lot more going on in there besides a simple on-off switch. They are easy to open up, if you ever get curious. 2 little bolts hold it down, unplug the wire, and there is a plastic tit (opps I said it) that you can press down, and slide the innards out of the shell. On some sport bikes, people dismantle/by-pass them for fear that they may cut the engine while doing a knee scraping corner.
