Also, the connection to your starter button could have been disrupted/be loose etc. a stab in the dark but check your kickstand switch (i would imagine the f2 has one, not to sure tho)
is this the first time you tried to start it or did it fire up right after it went down??
lol im not the guy to solve this problem, good luck!

Did the bike slide or flip around or hit anything? You might just have a problem with what these guys mentioned. Check your battery voltage too on top of fuses, and the obvious kick stand and kill switch.
If you didn't do major damage and didn't bang the bike around real bad, you could have just screwed up some of the wiring somewhere like with the starter switch or wherever else.

are you getting power to the rest of the bike? If you don't have a sealed battery you could have a cracked battery case and the thing is shot.
If battery voltage is good and the rest of the bike has power, use a jumpercable fromt he pos post of the battery (or the output tterminal on the solenoid relay) to the starter directly and see if it spins up then.
If so, start troubleshooting connections at the battery and the solenoid relay per the service manual on page 17-3. The manual has a very good flowchart to follow for troubleshooting this issue.

Yea I just got it to slide so it wasn't flipping around or damaging anything to much. I havent checked the fuses yet but I will today and change em out. Haven't got into it yet to look at wires either just cause of work an school but I will definitely check everything. An about the killswitch it turns off when I lift the sidestand. But no I took it home after the accident an never started it so... But I will definitely check everything out thanks much.
