It sounds like something mechanical in the hub of your rear wheel is broken. It will probably be quite expensive to fix. You ought to count yourself pretty lucky since when it broke a shard of gear or something could have lodged itself between the rapidly rotating final drive gears and locked the back wheel. The level of danger involved in that type of failure suggests to me that Yamaha designed the thing with preventing this from happening at the front of their minds
For the final drive oil you can use any 80/90 Hypoid gear oil. If you choose a synthetic Hypoid gear oil your rear end will run cooler. One quart of oil is enough for 4 or 5 rear end oil changes. Because the rear ends are so expensive (around $1000), I change my rear end oil every other engine oil change.
