You could try filing against the dealer in small claims court, in the city where they are located. There is usually somewhere around a $35 filing fee, and the jurisdiction judgement limit is usually 5K. You represent yourself, and tell your side, supported by any pictures repair estimates etc. Since it is a brand new bike, and a representative of the dealer was the one who incorrectly strapped it down, for what a new tank costs I would give it a shot.
