Bent Front Wheel?
i just purchased a f3 a little bit ago and when i was cleaning it, i found a dent in my front wheel. its not a major dent, but noticable if you really look at it.
ive driving then bike more than 1000 miles already and it runs straight and doesnt wobble.
maybe im not noticing it, but what major problems can occur cuz of the dent?
i dont wanna be riding a unsafe bike, so any input would be helpful.

There could be some stress fractures that you won't be able to see. But unless you know someone with an X-ray machine or have Superman living next door, your not going to find out. Most wheels are pretty strong and can take a whack or two, car rims can be fixed, have not done it with bike wheel though.
To be honest, if it was me, I start looking around (no pun intended) for a replacement.
The last thing you want to worry about when riding, especially at high speeds, is your front wheel disintergrating. Most notable incident that I can think of is the great Barry Sheene, and that stack nearly killed him.

I just bent my front rim the other day from a $@#! pot hole. I was crossing my fingers that I got away but no luck. How much was the damage if you don't mind me asking abadfish? The bend in rim is a little less than what your rear was. Thanks!!
