Do you mean you can't shift gears? If so, I guess you could straighten the shaft - but \\; BE VERY CAREFUL TO SUPPORT IT, SO THAT THE FORCE YOU USE TO BEND IT BACK ISN'T APPLIED TO THE BEARINGS ETC. IT RIDES IN. You may have to take the sidecase off to accomplish this.
If you're mechanically inclined, you can probably do it\\; if not, take it to an independent if you want to save $.

I don't know how bent it is, so I can't say for sure.

If it's the splined shaft coming out of the engine/tranny area, and not just the shifter lever that fits on the shaft, take it to the dealer.
