Can't select 1st gear

Hi, I have a RSV1000 which fell off the stand on to the left hand side. The clutch lever and the rear brake had no feel. I have bleed these and they operate as normal. However when I went to engage 1st gear, it would not engage. I can get 2nd gear with a crunch and 3/4/5 are okay. With the bike on the paddock stand with the engine off and clutch out, I can spin the rear wheel and the bike will not go into 1st gear. In second gear with the motor running I can engage the clutch and hold the wheel stationary so there is no clutch drag. Looks like when the bike fell its landed on the gear lever and something has been dislodged or bent. Any ideas? What's involved in accessing the gear lever selector? Thanks
 
Sorted now, a pri bar behind the lever seemed to put everything back to normal.
