Since the paint is chipping right here after i got hit by a car, does that HAVE to mean that my frame is bent????

Thanks

probly the impact when you hit the car maybe chipped the paint because a frame is flexiable to a certain point before it starts to bend
To check that frame if its bent or not i would try to find a leveler that you can attach to the sides. Though it just looks like your paint was chipped from the impact of hitting that car you should be fine.
Wish you best of luck with your bike though.

I bought a 450 about a month ago and when I got it home, I stood it up on the rear grab bar, and looking at the underside I could definately tell it was bent. -Thats one way to see, but it's not the most accurate if you have a really small bend.

P.S. -if any member of this site bought a 450r from a guy in overalnd park, kansas, for roughly 3900, with a whitebros E2 pipe, check your front shocks and the frame because I bought it, and when I realized the frame was bent, we took it right back and got that jackass gave me my money back. (i was a jackass too for not noticing though!)
