As above rolled it at weekend now it won't idle runs fine but no tickover any ideas what prob could be
 
I believe tickover is another word for idle.

If you have rolled it, before you do anything, bleed the oil pump if you have oil injection.

Rolling often stirs up a load of crap in the tank and it gets into the carb, and blocks things up.

Take the carb off and give it a good clean, especially the pilot jet.

The violent shock of rolling can also cause the carb boot to crack, and make an air leak.
 
Take a hammer and spikes... Oh wait that's for something else... Sounds like the carb is goobered up, I'd start there as my aussie friend has said, then i'd check the reeds.

More info would help, any damage? pics?
 
definitely clean the carb and if it rolled hard make sure to check for bends or cracks in Frame an components
 
It rides spot on revs lovely loads of power but no idle must be carb block had new reeds a week ago?
 
Dont want to make you sound like an idiot, but did you check the idle screw?
 
i've had a hard hit knock the float level out of specs.
while your cleaning the carb.........

aslo check your float level, on the stock blasty carb it should be 20-21.5mm,
measued like this,
bend center tab slightly up/down to adjust...........

Don't seem to sound like a idiot but were is idle screw don't want to start messing with things I don't no about
 
If you have TORS,ont top of the unit.

If no TORS on the gear change side , on about the middle of carb body.

Some have none and use the cable for adjustment.
