Tipped over then everything went wrong.

Hi,

This is my first post here and I am new to bikes and fixing them up. I have been working on my t350 and took it out for a little test ride, i tipped it when the front wheel slid out on me (no speed was involved).

Anyways, after that I noticed a few odd things starting to happen and I'm not sure what to look at first or what may be effecting what.

1.Battery power seemed to deminish, as the neutral light became very dim when the bike was not actually on and running.

2. Started to stall out very easily and revs would drop when the clutch was pulled in.

3. At a stop sign, about 4 min after the tip over and only about 1km of distance, with the clutch in and in first the bike reeved to red line. Quickly put it in neutral to see if it would stop. It didn't. Turned the bike off.

4. Kickstart is now very stiff and would not move after letting the bike sit. Still won't move after about an hour.

There doesn't seem to be any visible issues that I could see While sitting on the side of the road.

Any ideas of where to start would be a huge help.

Thanks

Some battery acid may have spilled out via the vent. Check the battery level & wash any affected areas if it happened.

Number 2 the stalling, my guess the sediment that collects in the bottom of the carb float bowls would be sucked up into the pilot jets and blocked them up. Need to take carbs off and clean all jets.

May have also hung up the float valves will crankcase with fuel which would explain not turning over too. pull the drain plugs and check for this.

Which side did you go down on? If it the right might just be the throttle tube is damaged or push onto the bars and not rotating properly causing it to rev out under no load

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll work on these this week and see if it solves the issues.

Also, akendall1996, i tipped onto the left.
