Default F4i Went Down, Now wont start.

Ok, mother backed into my bike, knocking it over.

Cracked stator cover replaced, all oil that leaked out was replaced... All plastics damaged were replaced.

It wont fire. FI runs, but it doesnt crank. I checked the fuse for the starter/bank sensor, and it was blown so I replaced it. It still wont start.

Any ideas??????

UPDATE: It will start using a push-start method. It runs fine once running. It WILL NOT start using the start button.

Does it crank with the start button and not start, or just click.

maybe solenoid is sticking. take a lead wire and bridge the solenoid to see if it begins to crank. or if you have the leads with a button, they work great.

Im just taking a guess here, But when your mom hit your bike the sensor on the kickstand could have gotton damage and somehow is stuck in down position which hinders the bike to start? Just another thing to take a look at. Let us know what happens.

My 1000F manual has a test of the starter relay switch using the battery and voltmeter. The online manual for your bike should have a similar test.

Nice idea, but I believe if the kick stand sensor is broken indicating the stand is down (happened to my neighbors bike) the bike won't even click when the starter is pressed. I think it just dims the lights and stays silent. At least I think that's what mine does. And if it starts pushing it, it sounds like the battery may be at fault. Dead or frozen battery will start by pushing it (happened to me).
