I found this very helpful to do wheel alignment on my bike:

Part 1: Wheel alignment
https://www.motorcycle.com/mo/mcnuts/chassis.html

Part 2: Checking if your bike's chassis is bent
https://www.motorcycle.com/mo/mcnuts/chassis2.html

Part 3: How to fix your bike's chassis if it is bent
I tried without any luck to find part 3, the one that would have been the final part. Read on some site that a guy mailed the author, and his reply was that he had never finished the final part.

Does anyone know if there is a good DIY on how to fix a bent chassis?

have you take it to a straighteners. They put it on a jig and push/pull it back into shape. That's if it is repairable.

can be very risky trying to straighten an aluminium frame.. aluminium rapidly fatigues from plastic deformation, and can often snap after only 2 or 3 flexes..

Steel is much more resilient in that respect, and can be more easily bent back into shape.
