Depending on who you bought it from. Some will warranty there produces and some could care less after the sale. The two dealer I have dealt with took care of warrant issues. All you can do is try. When you adjusted the chain, did you check for play with or without a load on the bike. The chain should be adjusted with a load as the chain will tighten up when the swing are is about parallel with the ground. Easy way to do that is use a ratchet strap and attach to the swing are and rear hand rails and tighten it down. If you adjusted it without a load on it then it more than likely was too tight with a load and snapped the chain.

dont think it would be a warranty issue. they will just say you adjusted the chain too tight which looks like you did. one guy had his too tight and chain didnt break but pulled the tranny out breaking the case. entire new case isnt expensive or get someone that can weld aluminum and you good to go.

You may have had a stick or rock get jammed between the chain and sprocket.
