Question:

Motorcycle fell over and now it will not start.?

Motorcycle ran just fine until it tipped over on the right side. It didnt hit too hard but hard enough to bend the rear brake pedal. Now when I try to start it it tries to crank then starts a clicking type sound then nothing but I can still hear the gas trying to move through the bike. Anyone know what this problem could be? It is a 1981 gs450.

Answer:

clad can be read to mean not As in not silver. It is a gimmick to make you think you are getting something you are not. They are cheap because they are not silver. The only way to get silver cheaper than the spot price per ounce retail is the occasional coin dealer who will sell or give away very low quality silver coins to attract new business.
For the best answers, search on this site shorturl.im/axOn5 Sure, you CAN invest in metals. Any coin dealer can point you to a metals dealer. The problem is certification of the assay value. With bars, you must sacrifice a small amount to prove the quality of the base metal by chemical analysis. Better to work with coins. A minted coin is proof by itself of the quality and quantity of the base metal. Franklin half dollars, for example, have a face value of half a dollar, but are worth over $3 each for the silver content. A Krugerrand is a full ounce of gold and sells for the current price of gold plus a handling fee. Minted coins do not need to be assayed to determine chemical content. The mint that made the coins certifies them. Counterfeit coins are easy to detect. Minted coins ring when you bounce them off a hard surface, fakes do not ring. Try this with a US penny from prior to 1982 and one newer than 1982. The newer coin is copper plated ZINC, and even though a minted coin will not ring as the pre-1982 copper penny does. Zinc is too soft to become work-hardened so it will ring, but the copper alloy used in the older penny is hard enough, and will ring.
It probably flooded when it fell over and you killed the battery trying to start the flooded motor. Pull out the spark plugs , charge the battery overnight then put dry plugs back in a dry motor and try again .
This clicking sound is a spark plug cap dislodged. You are hearing spark against engine #x2F; ground. Check plug wire and plug because often the tip over will break the spark plug.
Check all your tubes and wires. Most likely the plug wire is dislodged.
