Clouted a sizeable pot hole at speed on my FZS 600 last night.
Either the forks have twisted in the yokes or the bars are bent slightly not sure which.
Front wheel is straight in both pictures.

You need to slacken everything off - yoke pinch bolts mainly, and ideally the front axle and anything else that goes between the fork legs. Then straighten.
Helps if you can raise the front of the bike, take the weight off the forks so they don't slip up in the yokes.
