Default 2005 Sportsman 500 HO - turns over but will not start

Hello everyone,

I replaced the speed sensor for the speedometer because the speedometer stopped working (everything else in the cluster was fine). I started the bike and drove it out of the garage before I replaced the speed sensor, so I know it runs as it should. I threaded the new sensor from the right front wheel up to the speedometer, connected everything up and removed the old cable. I buttoned everything up and now it will not start. The cluster works, it has gas, the gas shutoff is 'on', it turns over, but will not fire. What could I have possible done to it?

I found the issue... a white and blue wire got knocked loose from a terminal during the process. She runs great after reconnecting... and the speedometer works!
