Default Tipped bike, won't start

I have a 07 cbr 600. Got tipped, long story. But now it won't start. It will crank but won't fire up. Starter seems to be fine and battery. One thing I did notice is that the left head light does not turn on whenkey is turned to ignitionand ready to start. (Right headlight turns on fine). The left head light does turn on if i turn the brights on. Any clues? Maybe foul spark plugs? It has been a few days, I was thinking maybe the gas has evaporated already? Please help!

isn't that normal for only one headlight to be on at low beam? try putting the bike in neutral an pull the clutch in and then try starting.

I would make sure your killswitch is in the correct position. Also, there is a bank angle sensor... depending on how hard your bike hit, may be activated. Its a sensor that tells the bike to shut off power to the bike... fuel pump and iginition. If this sensor is bad, it will not start.

Oh yeah, your headlights are fine. Im not sure how you didnt notice it, but the left headlight is low bean only, the right headlight is high beam only.
