Default Paint Chip
What do you all think? This chip is at the neck of the tank. I think it will spread. Bike is under warranty. Should I make a big deal? I am good at that.

I had a turkey peck my tank and left a chip. I did not even take it to the dealer. I did not think they would believe me. I tried to fix it myself.

Can't really see the chip in the pic, ...........how many miles do you have on the bike, that will probably have some determination on what the dealer will cover or not
