That sump plate bolt you were dealing with has nothing to do with anything being bent, it's that funky sidestand safety switch Yamaha installed. The engineer who designed that thing should be beat up the side of the head with said switch, Lord knows it's big enough to inflict some lumps, lol. The best thing you can do is eliminate all that junk and revert back to the small and simple spring post bracket used on the earlier models. It doesn't block the oil pan bolt access. This was such a stupid addition, or at least it's execution was. Never mind the difficult access to that one bolt, what really matters is it makes it impossible to use a torque wrench on it .....
You will need to unplug and remove the relay the switch hooks up to as well or the bike will only run when in neutral. No wire jumping is required, just unplug and remove the relay, and that "Rube Goldberg" switch contraption as well.
