the red circle is the actual sensor thingy



it is 2 green wires in shielding that go behind the water pump, to the left of the front sprocket and into a plastic cover where it plugs in

 

Also check the clutch lever switch, in case it was damaged.
If it won't go neutral, and it doesn't complete the relay circuit, the bike won't turn over.

Success! It was definitely the kickstand, once I fixed that I got it home no problem. Thanks a lot! All I have to fix now is the bent shifter and a small chip in the fairing where the slider peg thing used to be (not sure what the technical name is).
I have a question about that though - the peg just snapped right off, and it literally just tipped over from a stand still. I had assumed they were designed to take a small fall, but looking at it, it just has a cheap bolt that easily sheared off going through it. Is there something more beefy, other than going to something like an engine cage, that I could put on?

 

Well good job getting going. It sounds like you're talking about the frame slider. A pic would prolly help. All sliders aren't made equally so it's possible it was a cheap slider. Or the slider wasn't torqued correctly, leaving it vulnerable to shearing.

You will definitely want to pull the fairing and inspect the area where the slider was for any cracking.

And btw, welcome aboard

 

I wish I could post pics, but I don't have a camera, and my crapberry's camera is so scratched up you can't tell what's what with it. But ya, I need to take the clutch apart, so I might as well take the whole bike apart now, I've been wanting to do that for a while now and kind of learn about everything inside. Unfortunately I don't have a garage anymore

What should I look for when buying a new slider? Like how do you know if it's cheap or not?

Thanks!

 

Well before you pull the clutch apart, do as cBrent suggested and make sure the linkage isn't bent just enough to screw with finding neutral. Sliders ppl usually go based on looks and reputation. There are several names like Woodcraft and R&G who make solid products.

And now that you have your bike home and can relax a bit, swing by New Member Area - CBR Forum - Enthusiast forums for Honda CBR Owners to introduce yourself. Then an Admin will see about approving your acct and there won't be a lag between your posts appearing

 

do some research before choosing, sliders and spools can do more damage than they prevent sometimes and more so depending on how fast the bike goes down.
frame sliders are designed to give so damage is prevented. otherwise like in the case of spools, they could rip a hole in your frame.
