Piston gone - Sledbunnyracing

lets ask Maxwell the great he knows

Those pistons did not die from old age. Something went wrong. Either overheated or no oil. New pistons won't last long if you don't figure out what caused the problem.

X2 - Both pistons have the same scoring, they didn't fail from wear. Oil or cooling related for sure.

Check your oil supply lines and maybe replace the oil filter as well, to be on the safe side? Be sure to check oil pump adjustment when together

Will do Ric, thanks.

When it's all back together run 50:1 fuel for the first tank. On first run up hold the injection pump wide open with a cloths hanger for the first warmup cycle to bleed lines. You will know if the injection system is working properly after the first ride by the oil level and won't damage anything if it's not working correctly due to the mixture in the tank. She looks to me like an oiling issue. If it was overheated bad enough to do that you would know by the strange smells, warning lights and sweet smelling steam in yor face
