So I have a huge problem on my RM250....I was doing some maintenance on my bike, greased the axle, tightened the chain, repacked my silencer and replaced the rubber boot that goes around the joint from the pipe to the silencer......after I got all done I started it to hear the difference after packing the silencer.....it ran for like 20 seconds and made a terrible noise and stalled! You could hear chunks in the cylinder! I tore the top end off and found that the piston had grenaded!! It was literally in a thousand pieces! I just bought the bike too! I changed the oil in the bike last week and notice the color of the oil was gray...the lighting in my garage isnt great but today out at my dads I drained the oil and it looked the same as it did last week but in better light you could see all metal shavings!! GrEaT!!! Any advice or input would be appreciated....where do I start....there are gouges in the cylinder, by the way...My friend is taking the cylinder to a speed shop to see if it can be saved, I have to work all weekend.....are there any reliability issues with boring the cylinder? Thanks
