I stripped it last night and it is confirmed that i dropped a valve. The inlet valve is snapped off and has been wedged back up into the inlet port. i'll post some pics tomorrow.

I'm with you there mate. i'm thinking i might fit a Garrett GT-25 turbo. in simple terms it means an extra 50hp. don't know what i'm gonna do with it cause i didn't get traction til third gear anyway.

so did the valve take a chunk out of the piston, or is the damage only in the top end?

Sorry Kishy just that probably missed it in the other post and the opportunity ws too good.
And jp I dont want to be morbid on your bike but if the motor grenaded and you do go for a bigger motor I am willing to talk turkey on the turbo etc.

Ok, here's the story. 1 and 4 pistons are melted which i think then interferred with the inlet valve. this then broke off and munched the head. So the plan is a bigger turbo (cooler charge) less compression and maybe retard the ignition a couple of degrees. Sounds expensive but it's only gonna cost about $500 more than if i just have the stock 9 motor no turbo as i need carbs, airbox, harness, etc etc.
