Bits of piston made their way all the way back to the air box.  There were big chunks of it in the throttle body and intake manifold as well.

Notice in a couple of those shots. . .

the intake valve stem. . .

that ain't natural

Nah

it doesn't bother me.

I'm the kind of guy that can wreck shit like this and I really don't care that much.

I don't have a ton of money into the bike so that helps ;)

and yes, lean condition is the culprit.

Well, that or crazy ignition advance.

Or both [laugh]

Everyone should know that this poor little bike has had a tough life.

It started as a 750 that was crashed to within an inch of its' life, and ended a racers career...

to being my track bike.

It took me about two years to toast the motor.

ML bought it and resurrected it as a 900.

It will roll again. [thumbsup]

Good bikes die hard...I miss that bike. [thumbsup]
