Yes it definitely was upside down and spent a few minutes with handle bars in some standing water...never fully submerged or anything crazy...but again it ran fine.

If your going to come on and post stuff please be sure to include the things that you have said after your original post. This accident is your cause of the issue IMO. Hey #*$&@ happens. No biggie. Your going to have to go through electrical on the bars, as you might have a short or something FUBAR from water intrusion on the bars/electrical. Is the air intake plugged up? Roll over valve still being used or did you delete it? Sounds like when it runs its choking itself out. Still thinking electrical though.

Is your throttle free play too loose? It's hard to see in the video. I had a customer with a SR Viper that wouldn't start, he futzed with it FOR A YEAR (no snow for a whole season) and couldn't get it to start, brought it into my shop and we fooled with it for 15-20 minutes. Happened to notice the throttle cable had a little more play than normal, adjusted it and bang, it fired right up!
I would also remove the intercooler boost tubes and check for fluid like water or oil in the intake and intercooler.
Because of your rollover into water incident you need to systematically check everything. Four strokes hate being upside down...especially in water!
