Default question on smoke and starting

my uncle crashed at summit on friday and the bike was tipped for a couple minutes. haven't taken the tank off yet but gonna check if plugs are fouled. it started a few times and blew a lot of white smoke but now it isn't starting...any ideas? thanks

probably dumped oil out of the crankcase vent into the airbox, then got sucked thru the box, and burned. hence the smoke. replace the plugs, they're fouled probably. it may smoke for a few, but it'll go away. happens alot when i bike lays on it's side.

check and make sure the airbox is cleaned out too. it may have a bunch of oil in it.
