Hello,
Recently, the TOB sleeve on my ’97 GSX was damaged after the fork broke. That’s all been repaired, but now the car won’t start, and I’m trying to figure out what might be causing it.

If I spray ether in, it starts right up with no issues, and it cranks fine when trying to start normally. The battery was disconnected for a week or two before the repairs, but everything was working perfectly beforehand. The only thing I can think of is that something might have happened to the super airflow converter when the battery was disconnected, even though that hasn’t been a problem in the past. Fuses all look fine at first glance.
