Great minds think alike, eh? Or maybe just equally befuddled & stalling for time hoping to come up with a good answer for the guy,, Thats where I was,, cant speak for you,,
Good point someone made about makin sure the bolts are correct & tight,
Heat isnt required to bend it, IF its bent, Im sure it wasnt heated. How it got bent is a decent ?? ,, Somebody big sitting on it parked, maybe? If its actually bent in the leg part, Itll fix, but if its something in the hinge area, it mite be a bit of an ordeal & Rowboats Puck It answer mite just be the best solution. Now, I really would like a pic and if you could go to the bike & stand it up off the stand & wiggle it in & out & see if theres a stupid amount of slack in it that way.
The pic needs to be from the front or rear while its leaning on it & one looking down at it, while its up, so we can see the swingarm, sidestand together so we can compare the gap of yours to ours,,
