Thats bitter/sweet right now but I glad she ran well to the last minute, however I can't see rings going bad all of a sudden. I can see the cam chest loading up with oil being forced out of the breathers with every down stroke of the pistons. If the engine can't breath and they do a compression test I can see the rings not holding or getting damaged from excessive crankcase pressures, but for the rings to go first I have a real problem believing.
I'm interested what they find.

  iam glad you jumped in on this   my dealer is the best around  i think like you  i think theres more too it then just rings

[gabe]

 update motor apart and not looking good both jugs are bad rings stuck in piston  cams look ok
motor got so hot that the line for clutch will need  to be replaced   need ok to split case open from mother ship to see if  bad/  seals in heads need to be replaced   i guess to hope for now is mother ship says new motor but i would love to have dealer build it
motor slushed up i change oil 2500 miles ago

Did you feel the power decreasing before all this happened? There has to be a reason the engine got that hot all of a sudden. If it was sumping it would heat up but you would feel the power loss...it would be like you trying to run through a swimming pool. If the oil pump failed or dropped below 12 lbs the piston jets would stop working and that would heat up the cylinders and pistons quickly.
I'd like to see the run out and the oil pump...I still say there was a oil pump failure.
Keep us posted

 doc i belive there was a failure in the oil pump also but never lost power  they even rode the bike in off trailer and thought nothing was as bad as they found it .  thanks for responing this week we will found out if they replace it or rebuild it

Gabe,

That's really sucks!!!!

How can they say that your TTS tuner, X-pipe, and pipes was the cause of the seized piston, rings and oil pump?

Sorry to hear, keep us posted.
