I need some advice from you good people. I have a daytona 900 ('96) and on Saturday I popped into town (a return journey of about 20 miles) After about 9 miles my oil light came on for 1 second then went off which I thought was odd because I checked the oil recently and it was fine. It came on again for 1 sec then went off. It did this a few times and I thought that when I got home and the bike cooled I would check it again.
I went into a shop for 10 mins and when I came out I checked under the bike for leaking oil and there was none. So satisfied that I would get home I jumped on and off I went.
However after I had travelled another 5 miles the oil light came on constant. I thought that I would make it home and didn't have any choice since I was on the motorway. Then about a minute later the bike lurched and I heard a sound that I could only describe as it sounding as though someone had chucked a bag of spanners in the engine. Then I lost all power and pulled the clutch so that I could coast to the side of the motorway. To cut a long story short (and save you all from a rant about a neighbour (and biker) who wouldn't help because he wanted to watch tv) I have the bike home and I can put it in neautral or first but no other gear. It will not start although the power comes on. When I try to turn it over it does just gives one click.
I have checked the oil and there is plenty.
Any thoughts on what it is and how much it would cost to fix???
