Kpx 250 transmission goes kaboom

Here we go guys! While riding my kpx yesterday something let loose in the transmission. My oil had 650mi on it and it’s level and the chain tightness were checked every 2-3 rides( my rides are 40mi-60mi). They day of the malfunction both had been checked and confirmed correct. Oil level was right below max fill and chain had 10mm-20mm of slack.

The engine runs like a top but the only gear that exists is 1st, Second is a grind fest, and third acts as a neutral(clutch out no engagement rolls freely). My bike has 9705mi on it and I bought it sept. 2022 so it’s definitely under warranty but we’ll see how venom responds. In their defense they have been nothing but great and it’s why I have any hope to ride this bike ever again! I will keep you all posted, today I sent them a video showcasing what’s happening and they said they will be in touch soon.
