    There are a couple of choices that I know of. You can have the clamp welded, or there are (used to be anyway) split clamps that can be used to replace the broken one.

    Three. There are three options.
    You can have the pipe cut, a new clamp installed, and then the pipe can be rewelded.

    Same thing has happened on my FZ750. I just keep the broken one on there. Not ideal but better than nothing and it doesn't appear to affect anything too much.
