Default yamaha blaster wont start

i was out riding and i heard a sound that was like a snap and my bike shut off and wouldn't start back up and the only thing that i can visually find wrong is there is a crack in the exhaust. would the crack in the exhaust keep it from starting?? or any other ideas of what it might be

wen u turn the key is the starter trying to turn the engine over or u hear nothing...wat year is the blaster? is it ridden hard? was it like a chain snapping noise? or was it a glunk? has it been serviced lately? also check the oil and tell me if it is black and if it has any metal shavings or anything in it? and if it is full?

its a kick start. but when i kick it it sounds like it wants to turn over. before it would start on the first or second kick each time. i think it an 2001. its been rode fairly easy. kind of like a tree branch snapping. new oil and plug but thats about it. i'll try to get around to draining it tommorrow and check it but it is full i did check that

an engine needs 3 things to start... fuel, air, and spark... so check to see if you have spark and getting fuel... if you have both then i would check your reeds for damage, do a compression test, and a case pressure test... could you tell where the snap sound came from?
