If it fell onto the twistgrip side the impact on the end of the handle bar may have deformed the end slightly. That could cause the throttle to stick.
Or the bar-end weight may now be rubbing on the end of the twist grip. you could remove the weight and see if the throttle still sticks.

My old man had both his beemers parked in the drive and the wind blew 1 over on top of the other. Heart breaking times!

I put mine on a sidestand in the first gear. It survived a storm with no problems once I got caught by one. Even without removing 50 liter topbox. Was your on ceterstand, or the sidestand when it fell?

I was expecting 80mph winds in Edinburgh and Lothian's, put bike on the side stand and then place a very heavy paving slab that had been cut, survived and no damage to the side stand either. Happy days

Sorry, what a pity. It is possible that you can buy a new handlebar at Yamaha not very expensive. The FZ1 ones were quite cheap I think.
 
I never thought the wind could do that, by the way. I'll keep it in mind.

It is admirable that you British love so much the motorcycles having that bad weather in your country. Cheers.
