Looking for advice/help. Was out riding last night. I was in 4th gear and ran the bike up to a good speed (130+) before hitting the rev limit in 4th gear. When I hit the rev limit I shifted to 5th. The bike started to feel like it was sputtering so I slowed down and broke it down to 1st before stopping. In every gear it felt like it was sputtering. As soon as I went to take off again the bike made a clunking sound before cutting off completely. I pulled to the side of the road and checked for leaks, smoke, rods bursting from engine walls (OUCH!!) or anything that I could see. Everything looked ok but bike wouldn't start. When I turned the key everything lights up but it wouldn't turn over when I hit the ignition switch. I think I eliminated it being a bad battery because I checked the battery this morning and actually swapped it out with another battery from my wife's bike (also a ZX-14). Nothing.
I'm not a mechanic but I do all my own basic stuff on schedule according to the book (oil changes, chain adjustment). Bike has 14,000 miles.
So my question before taking it to a mechanic......what does it sound like I might be dealing with? Could I have messed up by hitting the rev limit in 4th gear?
Any advice would be appreciated
