Think I found an issue/ cause of the problem

After carefully going over the engine, and having the heads tested, I found something different. I found the right cylinder timing to be half a tooth advanced when the engine is set at TDC. I am wondering if this caused the catastrophic failure. It may account for the fact that the bike could ride ...

Thanks for the advice, the engine is a genuine low km and I am the second owner. Fuel is a possibility, but there is not much way of checking it here. I will keep digging, I really only have time. Certainly don't have much money to fix it. I did get it hot one winters morning, idled it for about 15 ...

Do you mean "seized"?

As prev suggested - find out why.

The lubrication fluid film remains for a long time in bearings after pump failure, not so long in liner lubrication.

If seized (even if micro-seizure of bore/rings and not seized now) - a bit more investigation ...

Dead R1100S , needed advice

My R1100S twin spark nipped up and now has damage to the right piston and cylinder only. It appears to have overheated on this side only. Where can I get reasonable priced parts. Is a big bore the way to go?
