On my way to the Anglesea bike show, with my lad on the back. Doing about 60 when there was a funny noise and the bike lost power. pulled the clutch in and coasted to the side of the road. No compression on the engine and a knock if you push the kick start  Call recovery out but they couldn't pick the bike up until 1 lane was closed by the police so 3 hours after setting off I'm back home. I'm going to strip it tomorrow to find out what's gone. Going to the pub tonight |

Its bad............very very bad  The big end bearing on the left hand side has disappeared! bottom of the piston skirt has smashed off bits of melted metal and metal chips all over the place its going to need some money spending on it     these bits came out of the left pipe when I took it off |

Bugger thats a pain mate judging by the pre ignition on the piston I would say your crank had twisted.
