Denting in a 900rr tank!?

I know lots of people have done it, but...

i want to dent in the top of my tank for feet over tricks, but a couple people i've talked to have had problems with it on the 900s, once the tank is dented in, you can't have a full tank of gas, the bike doesn't run right, doesn't release pressure inside or something, and you have to keep opening the tank to release it.

anyone else have problems? or should i just go ahead and smash it in?

You should'nt have any problems with mashing the tank in except it will hold less.

I like to get mine started and now it is mashing in more as I go. Stand on the bike and give a stomp around the edge of the gas cap . Once you get the cap pushed in the rest will cave in as you ride.
