Default 96 GPZ1100 wont start

So i got on my bike she started up like a dream, always has. I rode down the street didnt give her enough gas and it snubbed out, caught me off guard and tipped over. Now it wont even do anything except light up the bike.

I have power to my bike. I checked the fuses. I looked at my battery for leaks. Im so stumped as to whats wrong. there are no noises or anything when i try to start my bike.

I really need some insight here. i dont know where else to look and i really dont have a way to get it somewhere cause i dont have a trailer.

Did it fall on the left side? (I guess it really does not matter in the end) Possibly jarring the side stand switch or the clutch switch?

Good luck and welcome to KF

It fell on the right, bending the right brake lever. When i pull the brake it clicks now, and dims the battery power. I still cant get the starter to do anything. I looked in the manual and it does have a starter lockout switch, and im thinking this has something to do with it. because the starter wont do anything.

place a battery charger on. Check the front lever switch voltage as well since the lever was damaged.

I wanted to take the right level apart tomorrow totally so i could play with the starter. I dont really have anything to check any of that stuff, and i plan on getting it to a shop tomorrow hopefully. im going ot try to bum a trailer cause i was hoping it was something simple.

Double check your ground connections. You could have jarred a connection causing the intermittent voltage drop.
