The side panel on my YZ250F has a good crease in it from a wreck and I was wondering if there are any ways to take the crease out and have it look as good as new. I've heard to apply heat to it. One friend told me to try a torch and I thought maybe putting the side panel in the oven would work as long as it's not too hot. I googled this problem and didn't find much. You guys have any advice?

I doubt it is haha
But to answer my own question, I took a hair dryer to it for about 20 minutes and took out a lot of the bend. The creases are still visible so I'm heating a pan of water and I'm gonna put it in there kinda like I did with a mouth guard for football. Let it get hot, then shape it back to how it's supposed to be. We'll see if it works.
