Default Ran off the road

I have a honda Cbr 600f4i and some idiot ran me off the road, and I busted my upper fairing and headlights. I replaced pretty much everythign so far, and I got the fuel pump to come on. But I can not get my bike started. IT does not even try to crank. When I hit the start button it just sits there. I do not know what could cause this. What could my problem be since it is not doing anything? Any help would be useful. Thank you for your time.

Make sure the bike isn't in gear and the kickstand isn't down. Longshot, but I've done it before.

Also, check your fuses. Make sure your battery has plenty of juice.

I changed all of the fuses, and the battery is testing fine. It is in neutral and with the kickstand up or down it does the samething, which is nothing. But thanks anyway, anyone else have any more suggestions.

Put a charger on your battery then try it again. Does the headlight dim when you hit the start button???

soory i hit the wrong button. but the gravity kill switch is located in the headlight mount, so if a bike is flipped or turned over it will shut off. it is part of the headlight assy. just turn it over and bump it a couple times then try it.it also wont start if you dont have the headlight harness hooked up.
thanks mike

If the fuel pump is coming on it's not the lean/bank angle sensor (gravity switch). Check all of your connections and put your battery on a charger overnight.

You could try push-starting it too.

You said the front fairing and headlights were smashed, maybe you received some damage to your left clip-on. If the switch for your clutch lever got screwed up, that may be grounding out the ignition system. Other than what has been mentioned above, test the ignition relay switch (located on right hand side under the rear cowling, attached to outside of sub-frame).

Where is the clutch switch at and where is the relays exactly located. I was able to push start the bike. What else could I do to solve the problem. It does not even attempt to start. The engine does not even try to roll over. After I push started the bike, it would cut off after I drove for a little bit. Mostly when I am slowing down. Any other help would be appreciated. Thanks
