2013. New to me and brand new. 90 day warranty should cover it. Shop I bought it from is about an hour away so I have that to look forward too.
Wow, that bolt must be Chinese crap on a Jap bike. Hard to believe it could snap off when you try to loosen it. Palmer has the good advise here so good luck with the shop. Keep us posted.
I am going to go with this along with crappy material. Cases are aluminum and bolts steel so the threads in the case should be the first thing to give way I would think.Or someone don't know righty tighty, lefty loosey Shortshift did that turning the wrong way trying to pull his drain plug
