Default just crashed my ninja250, trying to fix it.....

so i just crashed my bike, its embarising but..... i stupidly wanted to try a wheelie. i popped the clutch at 10,000 in first gear and it went up and all the way around. , from the looks of it, it hit the back end of the bike and flipped all the way around to the dashboard and ripped that off. the sides and top of the bike are as if it was never touched.

it didnt start.... lights are working, horn does not work, when i try starting it up it sounds like its sparking but the more i try it the more it soudns like the battery is dieing. i hear clicks after a while then i hear no start up sound at all. its just clicks, i located the clicks which are coming from the fuse (picture). i tried switching the spare 30 green fuse from the junction box, but it does the same thing.

any ideas? ill probably have to bring it in, is it a good idea to bring it to the place i bought it, anythign cheaper? they charged me 266$ on my 600mile checkup. how much do you think this will cost? id rather fix it myself. (i just want it working, dont really care about how it looks at this point.)

okay so i left it for a while and it started up, but it wont stay on idle, it dies if i leave it alone, i have to keep giving it gas by the throttle or else it dies. is this a battery problem?

Not so bad. Start shopping for parts and nag us with questions....
(Agree with Hoedogg on insurance issue.)

hahaha, sorry Syn had to laugh. I prolly would be isolating wires and broken pieces prior to cranking on the battery.

Well I can ride wheelies from 2 mph in first without touching the clutch. I'll leave the crazy stuff to the experts.

I do not like wheelies either deej. The 8k mentioned was just my launch/tire/hook uptarget. Prefer to keep the front close to the ground personnally.
