Default KFX450R Toe-in (3/4"?)

I ran into a tree a couple weeks ago and somehow ended up with a toe-out situation and the atv steered like crap. Not sure how that happens as nothing appears to be bent... I adjusted the alignment and thought I had it spot on but I'm afraid I may have toed it in a bit too much.

The service manual alignment specs is 0 to 20mm of toe-in which is a maximum of .787" of toe-in. My toe-in is at or a tad above 3/4". This seems a little much but it is within factory specs. Anyone else have experience running this amount of toe? What are the downsides besides increased tire wear? With toe-out, the atv handled horribly. I know I should just go ride it but I'm not going to have a chance to ride it until I'm out in west virginia next week. I'd like to have the atv ready to go so I don't have to do any repairs/adjustments while I'm out there camping.
