Crashed katana wont start.

[alchemist007]

Layed down motorcycle at low speed around 15 mph.

It slid for 5-6 feet on its left side. Only cosmetic damage from what I can see.

I tried to start it but It will only crank, wont fire.

What could cause a motorcycle to not start after a crash like mine?

There are multiple saftey switches on the left side of the bike. Do a board search for info, find them, inspect them, fix them if needed.

...but both clutch and side stand switch would prevent it from cranking right?

Indeed.

[Shownarou]

Right, if it's cranking it's not a safety switch.

Think basics first. Three basic things that make a motor run. Fuel, Air, and Fire. Make sure you have spark at your plugs and go from there. I know on my bike, not sure how it is on all Katanas, the ignitor is on the left side, so if that took a shot, that can mess up spark. The fuel petcock is also on the left side, so that could mess up your fuel delivery.
