Default almost got jerked off again, bike wouldnt start again

Ok, you guys probably know about my little ordeal with my bike not wanting to start and having it had the shop for 5 weeks. I recently got it back and wasnt really able to ride it cause of work. well, after a long 14hrs of work, with no pay i might add, i come home and figure i'd ride for a few mins just cause its so nice out. I happily ride for 15mins and turn around to go back come cause i'm tired. Well right after i turned around to go home the freakin rpms started dropping, i'm like wtf. I stop and try to start the bike but same ****, no fuel pump sound. I look at the gauges and find out its at least not the same problem i had before cause the FI light turned off this time. So i call my friend to pick me up in his smalllll *** tacoma. I ride it the back with another friend to hold it up and hold the brake(house is only 2-5mins away). As we are going it starts pouring rain!!! I'm thinking what else could go wrong...jees. I come home frustrated, soaked, and feel terrible. I go to sleep for only 6hrs cause i kept thinking about it. I just woke up and went to diagnose it.

First i checked all fuses then tried to see if my engine stop relay and fuel pump relay were clicking. No go there. So i took the relay off and tested to see if the actual terminals were getting any juice...that was a no go also. So i figured hey, it cant be the relays. Then i remembered the diagram how the bank angle sensor(tip over sensor) was connected to the relays first. So i go check the sensor and it is half *** plugged in! No wonder the bike cut off! I plug it in and it fires right up. I'm gonna call the bike shop tues and ask them wut the **** they were thinking.

cliffs: got bike back from shop, cut off and wouldnt start again, sensor was half plugged in

what a freakin jerkoff......
