bike wont start..any ideas?
i have an 06 f4i with oonly 4500 miles. i wrecked it slightly. it started and run fine on the way home.i started it once in my shop,it wizzed over a few times but it did start after two or three tries.i tried it tonight and it will just turn over.it wont even try to start. the only thing ive done is tilt back the fuel tank so i could make sure my filter housing didnt have any oil in it.i let the tank back down and reconnected that little line that pulls loose when you raise the tank. its full of fuel.all the fuses are good.i dont see how it could just all the sudden not start. any ideas?
thanks for any info guys

well,i just slid it over going through a curve on the grass. i broke several peices including the front cowl and instrument cluster. the cluster still works. nothing on the bike "mechanically wise,its messed up. likei said,my friend drove it 5 miles back to his house 10 minutes after i wrecked.i got a fractured shoulder blade out of the deal. the bike started right up then,and it started when we loaded it up. it did start once here at my shop when i tried it. tonight i tried,and it wont even try to start up.its either not getting fuel or spark but i dont see how this could happen while sitting still. the battery is in perfecxt shape.my bike is only two months old.all of the fuel lines are still connected because i didnt even take them off.maybe ill figure it out,ill just go from system to system till i get it going.

i just assume the battery is good because it turns over fine. its been started three times since the wreck.ill double check it tonight with a voltmeter. im hoping its just one of the fuel lines kinked,or maybe one of the metal ones got bent when i raised the tank up when i removed the air filter

battery showed 12.16 volts.i kept cranking it over tonight in like 5 second go's until i killed the battery i guess.i hooked up booster cables but it still wouldnt start. the fuel lines coming from the tank look good.i dont understand how it could just all the sudden not start.i had the headlights and speedo unhooked,but i hooked them back up. i dont have the front or rear blinkers hooked up but that wouldnt cause this
i have both footpeg assemblies off but i dont see what that would do
i put another exhaust on which didnt have the o2 sensor,i put my old one back on (with sensor) but still the same.i may have killed the batt tonight anyways,so ill buy another one but i doubt thats the problem.
im kinda baffled,i even tried the advise the owners manual gives for a flooded engine. i guess ill proceed with replacing all the broke parts and maybe ill figure out something.......
