Default bike won't start....

Ok so someone ran by my house a couple weeks ago and decided it would be funny to knock my bike over....I was home when it happened and ran out and picked up right after it happened. I couldn't get it to start for about 30mins or so, but finally got it to start up. Anyways, I went to start it up today, it started on the choke but then just started dying slowly on me....any help would be great. I'm still pretty new to the whole bike thing.
Its a 96 cbr 600. thanks guys.

might have fouled the plugs. When the bike went over it may have flooded it bad enough to start to foul the plugs. They're cheap to replace, so it can't hurt to change them.

Luckily it's one of the few sportbikes you can change the plugs in without taking much off. You can get them out thru the little side panels in the fairing. Believe it or not, the plug wrench that comes in the factory tool kit works better for getting the plugs out on your bike than anything else. If you don't have one, and want to borrow one, lemme know (as long as I get it back).

yeah that would be cool....I got it used so it didn't come with the tool kit. Where can I buy new plugs from? Is there anywhere local or bikebandit?

Check auto parts stores too, sometimes you get lucky. There's also Cycle Gear in Norfolk, not as cheap as you might find on line or at an auto part shop, but cheaper than the stealership most likely.
