Message: [QUOTE="Arock, post: 1013305, member: 63768"] I'm new to riding and I have a question. I was riding this week and I laid my crf450x on its side at about 20 mph. The only real damage was a dent in the stock head pipe (about the size of half a golf ball. My question is, how much will this affect the performance of the bike(I wanted to enter a race in a month novice class) I was wondering if this is a issue I need to address before racing, or if getting new tires would be better use of my money? Again I am only racing at the novice level, Im not a super skilled rider but I still don't know how much this could effect the engine and I dont want to screw anything up on my bike. [/QUOTE]
