So this is my first bike and all was great loved riding. but one day i accidentally dropped it on its side and ever since i cant electronically start it but i can kick start it, also when the bike does start and i hit the electric starter it makes the noise of trying to start the bike

what would cause this to happen? i've trying removing the battery and charging it then putting it back but no luck.

"Whirr whirr" or "click click"?

If "click click" then follow the thick red lead from your battery 12V terminal until you find something like this:

Take a screwdriver (with an non conductive handle!) and put it across the two "main voltage terminals". Be aware that it will spark and may even spot-weld itself on, be prepared to wrench it off. That will put voltage directly to your starter.

If the starter spins (and the bike starts) like that then replace that solenoid. Costs a few £££. If that doesn't work, or if the starter is already spinning when you hit the button then let us know and in the meantime buy yourself a cheap multimeter - it will take a lot of the guesswork out.
