Yes it could be running lean and that will cause seizeur,best to check the plug colour as suggested.If its white best to move the neddle up untill you get some new jets and take it easy.No need to fry a piston for for the sake of a few pennys to buy bigger jets. I'm not sure on what years but some years came with as low as a 210 main stock. Best to pop open the bowl and look but the 250-260 is the right set up from all the other threads I have read about re jetting for a pipe on that bike. Merry x mass

well 6th gear for me has hardly any excelleration also and i only use it to hold the speed i was doing in 5th just at lower rpm, when ever thing get changed on 2 strokes especially intake/exhaust it is a good idea to get it properly jetted to get the benifits. im lucky with mine it has been derestricted with full dep and snorkel removed and the spark plug is a nice light brown colour!! chuck in a new plug and run it for a few mile then have a look at the colour see how she is running, but the mixture is crucial to these 2 strokes you dont want her going wrong on you. merry christmas ken
