Went for a ride after putting on new front brakes stop in driveway used too much front brakes to stop and it fell over. Oil light is on the bike has been upright for about 30 minutes. Engine shut down immediately after it got tilted. I haven't tried to started it yet. Any help would be appreciated.

So you haven't tried to start it since it went over? 

With the key on...the oil light will come on.  It doesn't go off until the bike is started.  See...it measures low oil pressure.  When the motor isn't running...the oil pressure is low. 

Give the starter button a bump to make sure the motor is spinning freely.  If it is...fire her on up.

After you up right the bike you have to turn the key off to reset the tilt angle switch before you can restart. Glad your problem was really no problem.
