Motor Hispania Motorcycle rear wheel seizing?

A friend of mine has purchased a Motor Hispania RZ 50 'Urban' motorbike for his son less than a month ago. Last week, after it's 1st service, the sprocket ripped off the rear wheel, seizing it. Luckily his son is ok. Have you had a similiar problem, and what did you do about it? He is trying to get the dealer to return his money, as the bike appears to be completely flawed, but the dealer is playing the problem down as ''it happens on those bikes''.
Any (realistic) suggestions or ideas welcome, thank you

Has the bike been touched at all since this prob arised? if it hasn't then don't touch it, get another reputable motorcycle repair shop to check it out. Chances are, if it was fine before its service and just after its service this happens suggests to me that the mechanic has overtightened the rear wheel bearing or over tensed the chain.

I bet u anything that the mechanic u took ur bike to has a young person working for him, and if so I bet u he did the job and was not very experienced. If u dont know if he has a young person in the workshop try and find out asap, better to do it without mechanic knowing. Once u know, ask the mechanic if u can have a word with the person who serviced ur bike, hopefully he will be truthfull, and if it is a youngster whow did the job then u have now a rough idea on how much experience he has by just looking at him.

There is a motorcycle shop in my town and he has young people from school etc working for him servicing bikes etc. My neighbour had a bike that she bought new from him , but servicing etc was rubbish, they are well known by a lot of people to do poor workmanship.

Sounds like u have same prob as her. I am not sure, is ur bike new or second hand?

Please let me know how u get on, Jimmy
