Motorcycle fell over and now it will not start.?
Motorcycle ran just fine until it tipped over on the right side. It didnt hit too hard but hard enough to bend the rear brake pedal. Now when I try to start it it tries to crank then starts a clicking type sound then nothing but I can still hear the gas trying to move through the bike. Anyone know what this problem could be? It is a 1981 gs450.

Check all your tubes and wires. Most likely the plug wire is dislodged.

This clicking sound is a spark plug cap dislodged. You are hearing spark against engine / ground. Check plug wire and plug because often the tip over will break the spark plug.

It probably flooded when it fell over and you killed the battery trying to start the flooded motor.
Pull out the spark plugs , charge the battery overnight then put dry plugs back in a dry motor and try again .

When my motorcycle falls over the carb' and points are sometimes fouled.
Fuel injection engines such as the KTM 500 eliminate this problem.
