Default Help please 2008 rincon f1 shutting down bike

I have A 2008 Rincon 680 and I let let a young lady ride it about two months ago and she flipped it and damaged the digital display! I replaced the display and the bike runs and shifts in ESP and Auto Mode! However it only goes about 200 feet and shuts down with the F1 light coming on. It will crank right back up and run fine!! I have checked all my sensors connecttions,cleaned all the connections and checked for pinched wires!! Can anyone help me out here?? I printed the mannual off, but I'm still having issues!! If anyone has any ideas, before I take it to a dealer to get reamed, I would greatly appreciate it!!!
Thanks,
Clay

After you print off the manual, try reading it... (smart ass comment) :-)

FI = fuel injection, so shutting down could be lack of fuel (dirty filter) or maybe it is blinking a code that we can help interpret for you.... If the pod was damaged you may also have pinched wires (maybe at the left handlebar ass'y .. kill switch area)...

Search this problem I vaguely remember someone having the same issue after rolling it.

Is the FI light flashing?

update:
From searching most said loose battery connection. Would travel a few feet then FI light would come on and stall after about 30 seconds. Would fire back up and happen again.
Battery cable could have come loose in the flip. Worth a simple shot if that doesn't solve it check for codes.

Thanks for the input, I have gone through the mannual pretty extensively, and I went through all the connections one by one to check for loose wires and even clean them all with contact cleaner ,then greased them all! I also check all the hanlde bar wiring for pinched or shorted wires! After the bike was rolled, it wouldnt run in ESP, only Auto as we were six miles away from truck when it happened and she had to be taken to emergency room,five broken ribs! But the bike would run fine in auto! So kind of puzzles me by just unplugging the cluster that it now shuts down after running 50 feet or so!! I will check battery area,as thats the only place I haven't diligently gone through!! Thanks again for eveyone's input!

The F1 light comes on, only when you first crank it and then when it dies!! all other connections have been checked and double check,except battery,so I will give that area a going over this afternoon!!
Thanks

I know this isn't real indepth, but if you plug in the old display, does it run well? Maybe a bad display?
