how serious is a dent in the frame?

i wrecked my 929 and now the bar end put a good sized ( 3/4 inch around by about 1/4 inch deep) dent in my frame where the flat side rolls to the skinny top. ive never had a stuntbike and my tillers frame was perfect but i was wondering if there is anything i should look out for, can a dent turn into a crack if hit right again, just anything to be worried about and if i can fix it, sorry for the stupid question but i just noticed it and i got a little worried

i wouldn't worry about a dent. just check it every now and then to make sure it doesn't crack around it.

cracks=bad
dents=no biggy

you can cut a square in the back of the frame and punch the dent out and then weld the square back in if you are worried about it. but i wouldn't do anything just yet if you are stuntin cause its going to get worse. and where do you live in co?

don't worry about dents, just bends, and cracks that's where you have problems
