500F NIGHTMARE!!!

[can_rizla+.]

OK so i got my new JARDINE exhaust...whoopy!!! all excited...open the box and it is scratched all over...great, anyways thats beside the fact. I was ready to install the exhaust....took off the faring etc etc. So the bottom line is the (looking down the bike) far right exhaust bolt in friggin stripped!!! Anyways, does anyone know how to fix this, the bolt is stripped but i think the recieving end is well... FUBAR!!! I am thinking of taking it to a stealership and asking them, and also swallowing my pride and putting up with there harrassment...anwyas, any help would GREATLY be appriciated..thank you...  Exhaust and bike in pieces...very sad...

Cheers

Heli coil - stuck and broken bolt is normal on these, so this - not too bad.
BTW, steel bolt in aluminum head, if bolt is stripped, definetly, aluminum is fubared.
Cool.

heli coil? i do not follow? - so i need to find someone to tap it in and then it will take a normal screw? But the bottom line is, im still in the clear...my other question is, will this effect my services in the future...like removal of the exhaust bolts every 6k service that is ever so expensive.
