Default Polaris predator 500 not firing a spark

I bought an 04 polaris predator 500 from a buddy,ran good until he flipped it down a hill,battery was hanging on by terminals,carb was hanging,handle bars bent slightly.so i bought it off him cheap cause i knew it ran a day before.Now it turns over but no spark,there is a black wire coming off the frame but i have no idea where it goes,not sure if it has anything to do with the spark,any advice would help.

Only way on something like this is to trace the wiring.This 5 buck service manual can help with the wiring diagram and electrical checks.2004 Polaris Predator 500 Service Manual PDF Download

Look like it's a frame to engine ground wire that the po disconnected or came loose.Again look at the wiring diagram.
