    Just dropped my GPX250 now won't start - problem?

    I Accidently dropped my GPX250 when the stand didn't come out all the way. Was the slowest drop you could imagine, I had full control over the bike, I was just a little unattentive and it went past that "no return point" where it just wasn't possible to bring it back up.
    But it wasn't really a drop, I managed to place it on the group (there's no scratches nothing) but now it won't start, the battery is trying to fire but it just won't take a spark, I have no idea what it could be.
    Any thoughts? I thought it might of gotten flooded, but I really don't want to take the bike apart, since I know little to nothing about mechanics.

    I've stationary dropped my ZZR250 before and had the same problem. Sit on the bike, bounce up and down a few times to get the fuel in the lines and try to start it again.

    Say what you want about pedophiles, but at least they slow down around school zones.

    Your a legend, bounced up a few times on it, took a little bit of a twist and got it going, now it idles.
    Thanks

    Starved the carbies when it tipped is all, couple of twists of the throttle will get it going
    Our Father, Who art at Phillip Island, Hallowed be thy name
    Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done
    In the backroads as it is on the freeway
    Give us this day our high-octane premium fuel
    And forgive us our lanesplitting
    As we forgive the four wheel drives, the volvos and the taxis
    And lead us not into gravel corners
    But deliver us from hand-held radars
    For thine is thy leather, thy denim, thy Gore-Tex and thy Kevlar
