Bent Bars??

Ok so I had a unexpected dismount which resulted in a couple endo's down a hill for my 08 YZ250F. Darn red bull gave me wings but forgot to teach me how to land...anyhow I digress

It "feels" like the left side of the bars might be a little closer to me than before although it could be all in my head. Any tricks of the trade to measure if the bars are bent or not? It doesn't seem any more difficult to drive...

OK so a million years later here's an answer to your post:

I say keep riding it if it feels good and doesn't bug you, HOWEVER, after breaking a fatbar last fall (small fall, didn't hurt myself but the damn thing still broke) I suggest you carefully inspect your handlebar for micro-cracks, especially under the handguards attachment tabs if any (where mine broke).

You can find handlebars under 100$ and the last thing you want is to see one break between your hands WHILE riding!
Happy trails :D
