STILL NEED HELP!!

alright guys i got a few questions for you here
i was riding my quad the other day and it just up and died on me...while i was riding.
luckly i was close to a friends place, so i had to push her to his place. when i went to restart it, it didnt start. i figured rite off the bat that it coudda been the battery b/c it was low on juice earlier and when i did the engine start it started up no problems.
i have recently just switched my pipe and map from the stock cannibal to the blaze/speed map with a shortened HMF pipe.
after puttin it on, i noticed that the idle was way too fast since i dont have a D&M kit i couldnt tell for sure... but i turned it down untill it sounded right.
would these idle adjustments change anything, i know it changes the mixture a bit but anything else?
i pulled the plug, and changed it, switched it w/a new one, and she still didnt start.... to me it sounds like its not Igniting!!
i go through the proper starting sequence prime, wait then hold for about 3 seconds, and nothing...
i'm not sure what my problem is, if the header wasnt sealed properly to the pipe itself would that create less back pressure? or possibly the header bolts themselves (to the engine) aren't tight enough? does anyone know where i should start with this.... im also worried about the fuel injectors possibly, could there me something wrong with them?
any help would be GREAT!!!!
i still havent found the exact problem even with all these suggestions, any others would be great thanks
