I’d personally return it for an exchange as it was at best damaged in transit and at worst failed even the most cursory of quality checks at the factory!

I dont have choice for this now. But i asked if its possible to ride with this? Or it could be bad

Bad. Get it replaced.

OK. Interesting to see I'm not the only one of that opinion - thanks Karl! Turning to that specific question however, I suspect the answer will be yes you could probably use it like that, but I'd await the opinion of someone more qualified than me to rule on it. I am, at best, an amateur mechanic!

Seems he can't replace it Karl. Can he use it without it screwing up his transmission?
-
The transmission will be okay but clutch and bell might not. Back in the brake shoe days even local shops could bond friction material to brake shoes....
-
Can I buy separately one clutch shoe and install it?

I finally saw the link and looked at your picture! Can the supplier take this as a returned item damaged in shipping (?) and replace it? You received it this way?

i bought it from very bad place they they customers service are awufal and i suspect they send me a broken clutch for purpose. Clutch cant brake in the box without have any broken piece inside... They scammers they also dont answer to emails... Very bad

I think in the longer term the damaged pad will get worn faster and eventually the clutch will be off-balance due to less weight on the one pad. This might shorten the lifespan of the clutch bearings - specially the needle bearing.
If the clutch did not come with a new bell and pulley, I think the needle bearing on the old pulley will be on it’s way out long before the new clutch pads are worn - specially due to an off-balanced problem eventually.

I think your point on balance is valid. How about weighing the damaged shoe and then removing material from the other two shoes in a similar place to equal? That way he could use them without balance vibrations.
