Default my blaster blew up...again !

I'm sure most of you heard the story about my tranny locking up on me, well i have only had it back from the dealer about 2 weeks since then and now my kick starter is siezed !!! it wont budge !! but before it did this it was making an aweul whining noise from inside, so i took off the oil cap to take a peep at my gears and there where shreds and chunks of metal riped out of my kick start flywheel thing. you blaster owners know that if you look in where the cap gets taken off, you'll see a gear and then next to it there is a round peice of metal just like a gear but without teth. well that has been riped to crap !!! it wont even start now !! and before this happened, i could actually move my kick lever all the way down to the stopping point with not a single catch. i would have to fiddle with it so i could get it to catch and start. anybody have any ideas??
oh by the way I'm selling it and getting a dirtbike [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]
I'm tired of this

with the uni filter on it did u rejet right? it could be running ether real rich or to lean. that can roast your cylender and might amke it blowup or sieze up. i mean is it puffing out blue smoke?

no i didn't rejet, but it was running absolutely fine with no difference, not even a back fire or loss of top end. it's not my cylinder, it was making a horrible noise and when i look at the gears something is ripped to crap

i know the dealer is going to get crappy with me and quite frankly i don't care, i really don't want to take it back to them. they charge up the ying yang and sold someone a crapy blaster (hmmm, this is familiar), then decided it was all my fault when it broke. now it's busted again, (kick start is siezed) and i wonder whether i should take it somewhere else first. i don't know, but i do know i want something else besides this hunka junk.
i have a friend with a blaster and he beats the crap out of his, and his hasn't missed a click [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]
after i get it fixed, what is a good price to sell it at? "it's 2003 and runs perfect" wich is will be by the time i sell it,
does 2500$ sound good? i also have a uni filter and pro circuit silencer so that adds a lil over 100$
what's a good price?
