Fix it yourself. While you're at it you might as well make sure the muffler bearings are still packed.

Dont forget to change the blinker fluid while youre in there

What bike? A 96 750 like you name states? I did mine in my R6 last winter. It's not hard, hell the hardest part is getting the motor out of the frame.

Could the connection between the handle bars and the seat could be faulty? Remove that part completely, you don't need it.

Poor bastard. No seriously though, you'd be surprised how easy a lot of this stuff is. You'll learn a ton and build up a good collection of tools in the process.

You using automotive oil, or do you just use all the power coming off 1st gear and wore it out?

Just take your time and fix it yourself. You're not going to be riding it for the next few months anyway. When ever my YZF second gear gives out (hopefully never as I make sure my shifts are crisp and fast) I'm going to replace it myself. I've never done that before either.
