Take off the cover for the front sprocket and check the wires just ahead of the sprocket. When your chain snapped it could very easily have damaged those wires.

Naturally i pulled over, noticed it broke at the master link, installed a spare master and thinking all was good, pressed the starter and then....the bike did not start. the engine turns, compression seems good (mabye im assuming incorrectly that since air comes out the exaust compression is good) but the bike wont start. Any suggestions. Could the piston rod be broken. If it is broken, why would i have compression. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Wow, what a great commercial! I wish they had ads like that here in Canada. Might get people to "think" before pulling out.

Jeff, Check the wires in front of the front sprocket. Maybe when the chain came loose it mangled the wires.
