okay..brother took his bike out for a ride...goes to park it..backs up to park...he accidently tips the bike over..brakes the foot rest, oil on the ground..trys to start it..it wont start...motor trys to crank but doesnt...not even one revolution..so we took the panels off and see a broke sensor..dont know what sensor it is..ill get pics tomorrow..oil seems to be coming from one of the tubes on the left side....no cracks in the motor or anything,...need help asap..thanks..

 

Sounds like the sensor that detects the bike's lean angle. It automatically cuts the bike off when you drop it to prevent further damage.

 

That sensor usually resets when you turn the ignition off and back on.

Where is the crack that the oil came out of?

But he said the sensor broke. So it may be going crazy. I dunno. That's weird. Cracked case too with oil leaking out? Why even try to crank it at this point? Even if it does crank you'll get oil everywhere.

 

Ahhh...broken sensor. Missed that part.

Good idea not to crank anything until you have a chance to go through the bike.

well checked for cracks..looked and looked everywhere..and no cracks..oil seems to be coming out of one of the 4 tubes that runs on the left side of the bike...

 

spark plugs could be fouled

 

bike wont even crank one revolution..sooo..i decided just to take it to the shop...see what happens....

 

One of those tubes vents the air box. Its common for some oil to enter the airbox on the tt600 when tipped over.
Where is the broken sensor? Is it the kickstand sensor and the bike thinks it is down?

nope...its on the other side..theres like a tube that runs up the motor...the sensor is connected to it on the bottom..

Now I'm confused, I thought you said the left side.
If its on the opposite side of the vent tubes, the only thing that I can think of is the cylinder head feed pipe which does have the low oil pressure warning light switch at the bottom of it. That tube runs up the front right of the engine though.
Maybe I'm not visualizing correctly.
