What's the symptoms? Why didn't you notice in first ride? Did you buy at dealer? Who made diagnosis? JJH
 
If you get no joy from the dealer (you should if you bought the bike less than 6 months ago) then speak to Mikeyboy on this site...he is to far from you and has a great set up and reputation on here.

Noise like tappets when box is in neutral that goes quiet when you pull the clutch lever is gearbox mainshaft.
Noise that happens when you pull the lever is clutch.

Feck me, trying to get any sort meaningful of description of the "failure" is going to be like pulling teeth.

What noise does it make when in gear ?
In neutral ?
Can you push the bike when in gear ?
Can you not push the bike when in gear ? ..
What noise does it make while pushing it in or out of gear ?
Can you change gear normally with the engine running ?

If it's the input shaft/clutch splines that have caused the problem than it's not such a big deal to fix. New clutch plate and a used input shaft. Job done.
 
BHT it has a lot do with the wife she holds all the money bike not yet in bits but been told is the main shaft and clutch
so im going to be a good boy this weekend because i think im going to require £1500

I don't mean to sound rude but if you copy Steptoe's post and paste into a new post of your own, you can answer each question in turn. We will then have more idea of the problems.

If the gearbox is toast a good used box is under £500. A complete clutch is about the same but you may need only a friction plate at under £100. You might have a perfectly good clutch.
