Default New KLX250: Pinched Innertube

I bought a new KLX last Wednesday...

I got a flat on the front tire Saturday morning, with around 140 miles on the bike.
I haven't even been off road yet...

I put some air in the tire, with my floorpump, to troubleshoot it. I noticed, that the tube was inbetween the rim strip, and the tire bead.
Its not just in one place, it looks like the tube is like, that all the way around, as much as I can see, without checking all the way around.

Has anyone seen this before?

I have a feeling I'll be paying for this, even though there's no hole in the tire.

Thanks!

Never seen that before. Did you ride it flat, or find it flat in the morning? If the dealer set it up that way, I'd be getting to the dealership asap. Take pics.
And if that doesn't work, tubes are not that expensive. Time to purchase a tube, tire irons, and learn how to change a tire. Here's a good reference: https://advrider.com/f/threads/nedur...g-class.50717/
