Thanks for all the tips guys. I hooked the bike up to my battery tender last night and then gave it another go this morning. The bike started without any real difficulties today so I'm not sure what the problem is/was. I do think that my clutch switch is busted though because with everything plugged in I couldn't start in first still. However, when I just touched the two wires going into the switch together then I could start in first no problem.
My only guess is that when the bike got downed my friend (this is just a guess because I actually wasn't there when he downed it) tried to start the bike back up full choke too many times and flooded the engine (how long would an engine stay flooded like that?). Anyways, I let the bike sit all day not hooked up to the charger and it started up fine again tonight, so I don't think the battery is shot (It better not be, that thing is brand new).
