Found this damage long before I ever fired the motor myself. Oh well, when you buy $1300 worth of motorcycle that's what you get I suppose.....
You hold the new record for least distance before a tube went lol. That's why I recommend changing out the tubes. Mine was the front tube, and thankfully I wasn't going very fast.

The wiring thing is also a common issue, though only one other person has ever reported it being melted to the exhaust. Also another reason I suggest going over the wiring, re-routing and securing things. I had a couple of wires break off at the pins of a connector because of vibrations.
