Well, i went out yesterday, and after about 40 min of riding the bike started sputtering and backfiring and cutting out then it stopped. Today i looked at the plug...br8es... and it was fried, there was no gap, and it was melted, put a new plug in..b8es..., checked the reeds, they were ok, kicked it over and it started and ran great for about 10 min. then it all went south!!!! it started sputtering and cutting out again, then it stalled! so i tried to kick it over, and it was froze up tight!! woln't move at all!!!!

WHAT DO I DO!!?? HELP![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

I have an R and that same thing happened to me. On my wiseco piston the ring pin came loose and the rings expanded, causing them to get caught on my intake or exhaust opening. You will probly need a rebuild and u might want to put your head in a lathe to clean the dings if any. Parts of my piston and rings gouged into my head which caused tiny dents. If u don't get rid of them u will have hot spots

How do i get the cylinder off? i'm assuming it's a meltdown...being as it is seized up tight...then the piston would be seized to the wall? this could present a problem! How do i remove the cylinder???

Time to get out the toolbox!
Drain your coolant.
Take off the fenders, fuel tank, and get rid of the snorkle.
Take the bolt out of the headstay and remove that mount.
Take the plug wire off, pull the plug out and toss it.
Take the head off.
Take the coolant drain plug out of the side of they cylinder.
Take off the four nuts that hold the cylinder to the case.
Grab the cylinder any way you can and wiggle/pull up. You can maybe smack it with a rubber hammer a few times to help break it loose from the base gasket.
Using the kick starter, put the piston to the top, that way when you get it moving it won't move around on you.
If the rod is seized, you should still be able to move it but it won't be easy.
Just keep pulling on the jug, it'll eventually come off. Get some help to pull on it, makes it easier.

If it truly seized up on you then you are going to have a really hard time getting that jug off. My suggestion bite the bullet and let the guys who do this daily take care of it. I had a meltdown last summer that put a hole straight done through my piston, although the piston did move freely in the cylinder. This was bad enough. Call your local shop and get an estimate.
