    Steve, did you start tracing the power from the battery? I would start at the battery and see where the power starts and ends. Eventually you will hit a dead spot where there is no power. Is there any way to check and see if the coil is getting power? What else, if anything, has power? What happens when the ignition is turned on, anything? I'm sure you know this but something obviously jarred loose when you hit that bump, it's just a matter of finding it. I hope this helps, or at least gets you thinking for possibilities. Good luck!

    I'd also check the batt. Could have broken something internally... especially if it was an extremely hard jarring...:)

    I'm not sure about all bikes but my old sporty had a plug on the underside of the frame. I had a similar experience and the plug came loose. Once I found it and hooked it back up the bike was fine. May be worth trying. I always go for the simplest things first before getting into harder and more time consuming problems. It is funny how often it turns out to be the simple things that work.
