The kill switch and kickstand were long shots but when you aren't sure it's an easy check. If the ign was knocked loose from it's moorings it might be busted.

Switch on handle bars will stop it from turning over so will kick stand switch but only when in gear. Check around coils real good and use a test light to see if You have incoming power to coils. Ign box is good possibility, if it was jarred loose it could have jarred something loose inside of it. Good Luck!!

Go here http://www.paulmilner.com/yamaha/handbuch/handbuch.htm#roadstar for manuals. I know there's a wiring diagram in there.

Re:Bike Died 4 Years ago  
I have got very weak spark on front and rear now. Is there any way to test these coils to see if they are the problem? Wouldnt weak spark point more twords the coils than the ign module, if the ign was bod that should mean no spark right?

How's your battery at this point , with the testing and all. Weak battery = weak spark. Just a thought. BB
