2005 Sportster won't start after minor crash
Greetings all,
My wife has a 2005 Sportster 1200. She hit the right handle bar on a tree. The bike went down on its left side -- no injuries or visible damage to the bike but now it won't turnover. The electrical system seems to be fine (lights, horn, etc.) and the battery is fully charged. I took the start switch/run switch assembly apart and noticed that several wires are mashed a bit but it still looks like their intact enough to function. I'm not sure if this is from the crash or just flattend from installation.
Any thoughts on why the engine won't turnover? THANKS!

Had a minor crash with 04 Sporty.. Had to redo the Kill Button Wires ... Although I went down on the Right Side .. The Kill Button is in the Right Handlebar.. Just thought would mention it .. Maybe some one else can chime in as well ..
