Lifan XPect kick starter is not working

[Gradhakr]

Greetings everyone,
I just got my Lifan XPect two weeks ago. Have put around 50+ miles on it. I used the kick starter the day I put the bike together & it started fine. It’s been a couple of weeks and I can’t get the bike to start when I use the kick starter. The lever is really tight and when I force kick it down there is no sound. The bike starts fine when I use the ignition switch. No problem.

Any pointers to troubleshoot this problem would be super helpful.

Thanks much.
