I went riding over the weekend and my mojave seemed to be low on power. I went around the track twice and on the second lap i seemed to bog down than picked up again.like it was running out of gas.well i went the rest of the way around and when I stopped the motor locked up.the first thing I did was pull the plug out and the white part of the plug was a rust red color. did I melt a piston?

well I put some oil in the sparkplug hole and a socket on the flywheel and got it to break lose. but the piston still feels like it's draging it the bore.my guess is it's going the need a new sleave and piston this time. this sucks[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]

Try to find out what caused the seizure. It is a common mistake to replace parts without identifing the root cause, causing another seizure.
