Ok, trying to get with the dealer today. In a perfect world they'd mail me the new tank and I mail them the flawed one and I don't have to lose riding for however long it's gonna take. One problem is I'm 3 hours away from my nearest dealer. Surely they won't make me bring them my bike. Hopefully I can mail it to them.
In order to confirm the problem, they will most likely want you to bring it in.
Take a saturday, bring it to them, get a loaner or have a friend with you, and then sit and wait while Italy gets their shit together.
