Well, recently i was teaching my buddy how to ride, and he got the hang of it and was doin pretty good. Prolly shoulda known better than to let him learn on my 83 gs1100e but thats all i had running at the time. He ended up hitting a curb and dumping it, luckily him and the bike ended up in the grass but a little damage was done. The exhaust has a flat spot on it now from hitting the curb and the ignition cover was shattered. Other than that, just a bent blinker mount and headlight mount. After he got back to my house on foot we went over to the scene, got the bike up and it wouldnt start. Noticed right away one of the ignition wires was split, so we crimped a connecter on quik and it started right up. But now it wont charge at all. It will stay running but wont turn over after u shut it off. I checked the battery fluid and its just barely below the line, and the bike landed on the right side, where the charging system is. What do you guys think? I know the gs's have charging system problems, but it always charged great up until the crash.

stator is on left side;
How do you know it is not charging?
How do you know when it was charging? -
yes, the bike fell on its right side. It used to start right up ever time, after the crash it is always dead when i try to start it. I can push start it or jump it and it fires right back up and will stay running. but as soon as i turn the key off, and try to start it again it wont even turn overComment
