I'm not too worried to be honest, and yeah I'm lucky it wasn't more catastrophic. I talked to the dealer over a month ago and they said they will send me a letter as soon as they get the official notice, but didn't tell me to stop riding it or inform me of the stop-sale. I didn't think it would fail given it's the same design as the old reliable 250's but with a couple different parts, but one of the new parts is whats defective.
Sounds like a busted crank. Demand a new engine. The old one is bound to be shot, with pieces of metal all through it. Or tell them you want them to buy the bike back so you can go buy a Street 500.
