Does the starter still spin the engine over?
Or is there nothing when you hit the start button?

Kill switch? (this is if it turns over but won't start)

I would check the obvious stuff first, like the kill switch.

Maybe the clutch damaged the safety switch that is operated by the clutch.
But I would think that you could still start it in nuetral if that were the case.
hmmmm........

There is also a safety kill switch on the kickstand that may have been damaged.

It should not be any kind of major problem from just a little fall.
Good luck
