Not Starting

Hey I was wondering if anyone could help me out. My friend has a 2001 Suzuki GSX-R600 and he layed it down at about 45. The bike only really sustained some body damage and nothing on the engine was broken. We had to replace the clutch perch and cable and the bike will not start. We checked all of the fuses and the main relay is working. Niether of us know much about bikes, so any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I think that was the year Suzuki started using a lean angle cuel cut-off switch. It is common for these to trip when layed over and the contact inside to stick and not re-set. It is a sliding wieght on a curved metal bar. When it slides too far to either side, it completes a ground circuit and kills your fuel pump. Dirt and crud can hold the slider in that postion even after the bike is stood back up.

You might want to have a look at that. It lives under the seat on the right-hand side, I believe.... but don't quote me on that.
