Remove the plastic and silencer.

Set the plastic out in the sun for a while.

Loosen the mounting bolts.
 
Get a friend to hold the bike, or strap it down on something.

Use a pipe or prybar or 2x4 to twist it back into shape, and a rubber mallet to pound on it where you need to.

Do the tweaking a little bit at a time, and use your silencer and plastics to verify that you have it straight.

Once you have been through this drill a few times, it will only take 30 to 45 minutes. I know this because I used to crash a lot. :-D

I agree with Torch. My subframe looked almost like a pretzel and I was able to save her.
