Piaggio Zip Screwed..

[Mavv2k11]

So I've had a Piaggio Zip 50cc (With a 70 kit installed before I bought the bike) and it's been a really great bike so far, until I came off it this morning. I'm new to riding and I've passed my test about two weeks ago.

I was driving around a bend near a car park near my local Asda and since it was raining, the bike slid and I went with it, basically. I can start it just fine now but the problem is that the kickstart is locked in a down position and interferes when I have to lean to turn.

It also interferes with starting it electrically, which hardly works in of itself since I have to pull the brake to get a 'sweet spot' to actually start the bike.

Now that I got into falling off the bike it seems that the kickstart is locked downwards, but when I start the bike and ride it for a bit the kickstart moves about a quarter of the way back to its usual position. The bike now sounds nothing like it used to and almost sounds like it's choking for air. I don't really know what to do as I'm not a mechanic and I don't know a lot about bikes.

Help!

You'll probably need to replace brake lever and cvt cover.

Not a big job as only rear cable brake.

Check brake light switches and starter button for good contact. Probably explain the crap sweet spot you have go find

No idea what engine these have. Chinese, or not? There may be a flat part of the casting just in front of/up from the stand on the nearside with a number on it (if so what is it?). First thought that the impact has bent/broken part of the mechanism inside the case, from where the kickstart shaft goes through the case.
