About a month ago I was riding my new MT10 and the front tire kicked up a rock and damaged the oil pan which caused it leak all over the road way and almost taking me down. I took it to the dealership and they finally called back and said they would have to replace the oil pan and gasket and with parts and labor gave me an estimate of $930? Has anyone had this happen before and does that estimate sound correct? He also said that after they replaced the oil pan they would need to do a diagnostic to ensure there is not wrong with this engine. This was also included in the estimate. I appreciate any input.

Sounds extremely high to me. The oil pan is like $100. Then they basically gotta do an oil change. Yes I guess they
Can run pressure tests but more than likely, a tech is going to start it up and make sure there's no leaks and that's it. As long as you didn't leave the bike running as it drained of oil and the rock didn't completely pierce the pan and do some serious damage inside, the bike should be fine.
I'd seek out a reliable mechanic in your area. He'll probably be able to give you a ballpark estimate over the phone. The will be much lower.
I presume you're not very mechanically inclined but to give you an idea how ridiculous $1000 is for this, it is a fairly easy swap to do yourself. I'd buy the oil pan from the guy parting out his bike on this forum right now and could probably do the entire thing for under $75 w with the oil, gasket, and maybe a new drain plug for the hell of it, and have it done in an hour. All with basic tools and a torque wrench.
Unless I'm missing something, I'm almost inclined to say this is fraud.
Edit: as others said below, apparently the exhaust and headers need to come off so maybe a little more complicated but I still don't think that rises to the level of $1000

If you are comfortable doing some DIY, shouldn’t be too hard of a job. I’ve never done this particular job, but generally anything that isn’t extremely complex and has good instructions (forums or YouTube) I’ll tackle on my bikes and cars. Pics show the parts you should need. Won’t necessarily need a new drain plug/washer but if you wanted a new one they are there also. You will need a new gasket though, even if you sourced a used oil pan. And I’d get a new oil filter also, since you’ll be putting in new oil. This link is for a 2020, don’t think the parts have changed, but can always go to your year if purchasing from them: www.babbittsonline.com/oemparts/a/yam/5dee555d87a8660f98cb39a1/oil-cleanerWill also need a small torque wrench, not sure the exact spec but I think it’s pretty low. And a set of Hex sockets. Probably a regular socket set also, if there are other bolts you need to remove. If you don’t already have those can pick those up on Amazon or Harbor Freight (or similar competitor) and they are good tools to have on hand any way, for other general maintenance/repairs. Didn’t see a video for the MT-10, but did find one for the MT-09. Process should be similar, if you decided you wanted to DIY.   |

Jesus, what kind of rock? Is there a visible hole or crack in the pan?

I appreciate the responses. I don’t know much on the mechanics but my friend said it seemed a little high. The dealership tech mentioned he would have to remove the exhaust to get to the oil pan. Yes a rock went through the oil pan. I didn’t leave it running for too long and I came to a stop rather quickly

Regardless its a fairly simple job. |

Sounds like way too much. With maintenence charges id say $400 is the most it would cost. Maybe there is some other damage there that we dont know of that would justify that price tag

You can always get second oppinions. Call other grarges and ask what they would do it for, if you send pictures you should get a pretty good estimate. See what the actual ballpark figures are.

This is why plastic oil pans are the stupidest idea ever!

Look like you could just remove the Cat and slide the oil pain out the back? |

I believe the header has to come off. Pretty sure there's stuff hanging into the oil pan (oil pickup, etc) that will prevent it just sliding backwards. |

I had a leaky gasket on mine. Dealer replaced the gasket and the oil pan. Unfortunately, I just looked at the work order and they left out the prices, just says WARRANTY. Other stuff Ive had done under warranty still has the prices... I would say that's kinda high though. I assume dealers have gone up on prices lately perhaps. Everyone around me says the same thing, booked out, barely any technicians...
And yes, quite certain you have to remove the headers as the pan wont just drop down like someone else said. Then it's "recommended" to replace the header gaskets as well after removing the headers. Not sure how necessary that really is but it's protocol I guess. Have care working next to the radiator/ oil cooler if you end up doing it, they seem easy to damage.
