Message: [QUOTE="Rice#67, post: 1250766, member: 82789"] First thing you should do... is check the spark plug. What color is it? White, tan or black? I don't think you should tear the engine apart at all yet... Was the spark plug replaced when it was jetted by the shop? I would assume so... Since you pinned it 5th gear wide open, it might be adequate for a spark plug test. If the spark plug is white or any whiter than tan, I would take it back to the shop and tell them what happened. Since they jetted the bike, it is their responsibility to make sure it is jetted right. I was a service writer and had to deal with this stuff all the time. I have seen many bikes get pinned WOT cold and they don't seize that easily. If 2-strokes have the right amount of oil, they can take a lot of abuse. That doesn't mean it couldn't happen but hey... just a thought. Oh, and you didn't answer the question... Was your petcock/fuelvalve turned on when you went on that ride? [/QUOTE]
