I dropped my bike a few days ago and now it won't start. The light, horn and everyting else works but the bike still won't start. Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong with the bike?

Check the side stand cut out switch, and the clutch switch.

If you have a play with the search you should find some threads that tell you how to bypass these, It'll probably either one of them thats causing your problem.

sounds like what fizz said.

take the two wires off the clutch lever & put a bit of wire connecting them together.

the same can be done to bypass the sidestand switch

I think you were right first time Hovis, was also going to be my suggestion, but beaten to it. Come on Caveat, show your face, take a bow, we've all done it!8-[
