When it all went wrong..... Oil Pump Failure

On February 16 2025, around 20-30 minutes into my first ride after having the first service done at the dealership it all went bad...

I heard a slight "ting" sound and the ATV stopped moving, the engine sounded fine, no abnormal sounds, just no drive. I switched it from D to N to R, back to D and only a slight lurch as it went into gear but no other forward or backwards movement. I thought it was  related to an issue I had before where it would not find a gear, which was resolved by turning the key off and then restarting the machine, but this did not work. Off to the dealership we go and this would be the last time that my machine would be loaded onto my trailer...
