I have an 01 RM 250 that's pretty well in perfect condition,never had any kind of issues with it until about a month ago me and the bike had a pretty hard crash landing and it layed on its side for 10 minutes,ever since then I haven't been able to get it started,put a new plug in it,it's getting good fire,getting plenty of fire.i have checked the reeds and pretty much everything I know you check and can't find anything wrong,it just won't hit a lick,does anybody have any suggestions or ideas of what might of happened here.thanks

Last time carb was cleaned/rebuilt? Getting good fire mean it has spark I assume?

Try the old starter fluid in the plug hole trick. It if comes to life it's the carb. If not, it's something else.

Bikes are basic. Needs: Air, fuel, compression, ignition. One of those 4 are preventing it from starting. Just start eliminating them.

Replenish the gas that all drained out while it layed on its side for 10 minutes.
