We have had parts problems similar to this.(parts damaged before even put into shipping box).In all instances we replace with no questions as long as the box is not damaged in shipping.Your supplier should do the same.I am sure yoshimura will take care of this for you,i have been doing business with them for 12 years & they are a stand up company.You should have the dealer you purchased from handle this.They can get it handled through yosh for you.
BTW:3 weeks is a long time to wait for this pipe.They are redilly available and we ship them within 3 business days.
