Engine problems on 99 kawasaki vulcan 1500?


So me and some friends went on a ride sunday and right before I filled up with premium for the second time in a row. The bike, as always, ran great. Monday morning I suddenly found the bike losing power, the engine oil light coming on and at times it would die. After work I made it home and noticed the oil extremely low so I topped it off, but it still has the same problems. I don't think it has the problem in neutral, but I haven't had much of a chance to check that out since my bike is loud and I don't want to piss off the neighbors (yet). Any ideas on what it might be?

The nylon cog on your oil pump has been damaged.
probably overheated when it ran low on oil.
