scoot steering appears to be pulling or favoring one side after crash

[graphs111]

Hi Guys,

I made a stupid mistake of leaving the scoot on with the engine running while buying something of off a street vendor. A chinese kid turned the throttle when I turned my back for a second and sent the scoot straight into a wall and crashing down. Luckily no one was hurt. The scooter seemed to have survived the crash with just a few cracks and scratches but when I rode it I noticed the steering to be pulling or favoring one side. What could be the problem? Would this be a major repair for the bike? Sorry, I am quite a newbie . All inputs would be greatly appreciated.

The front forks are out of alignment and hopefully not bent. You might try loosening the triple tree clamps on the forks and straightening them. Probably ought to take it to a shop and have it done if you don't know what I am talking about.

Thank you barnone, If the forks are bent would I have to have them replaced? How much do these usually cost?
