Chain Snapped!!

So i took my bike to the dealer like 3 weeks ago to get the bearings in the swingarm change. Its still under warranty so they did it for free. Anyways, i picked it up yesterday n went riding today. I noticed the rear sprocket wasnt lined up wit the front and the axle had a bigger space from the swingarm to the sprocket. But i said w.e is good, i rode for like 30 mins next thing u kno ama pop the clutch to wheely n the chain snapped. But one of the links broke, which i think means that it was because the sprockets werent line up. Well it looks like they gone have to replace the bottom end, heres a pic

O buddy I feel your pain! They are gonna give you hell about replacing your bottom end, saying its not their fault. Time for a chain guide and poly case saver!! Goodluck

Sucks man. If it's under warranty they better replace it. You have to buy both cases...don't sell them individually.
