the timing chain is enclosed in the engine and unless it was a real hard fall and the engine was at high rpms, its very hard to get the timing to jump just from falling over. does it not start?

It's not likely that the chain jumped time. If you are smelling gas then it sounds like it is just flooding itself. Make sure that a float is not stuck and fuel is not just dumping.

How hard of hit was it, you and bike ok?

Open the throttle all the way and crank it, no choke. If it doesn't start let it sit for a few hours and try again.
