Do you have the kickstand up when you put it in gear? Many bikes have a lockout on the side stand to prevent you riding away with the stand down. Kills the engine instantly when placed in gear with the stand down.
My bike cut out after a short time when the choke was released when warm. I changed the crank position sensor and did all relevant checks. took it to a Triumph dealer who took three weeks to repair the bike. They said that it turned out to be a perished carb' diaphragm which let the needle drop when as vacuum decreased when the revs dropped as the choke was returned.
The bike will have a cut out switch for the side stand. IE if the side stand is down and you try to put the bike in gear it will either cut the engine or not let you start if at all.
Most, if not all bikes have a safety device installed which prevents the engine from being started when in gear. There is generally another which cuts the engine dead if the side stand is put down when the bike is in gear.
Hope this helps.
Make sure you have your stand up before you put it in gear. Some bikes have a stand switch that doesnt allow the bike to be in gear while the stand is down. This switch may have been damaged when the bike fell and now be malfunctioning.
