Yip factory set , air leak some where i think,,, oil setting on pump, i doubt this unless its a failure,[ then instant seizure] Coz with fully sinthetics nowadays , can be 70/1 with no problems Iv seen a barrel off a scooter with 15,000 mls on it , with no wear at all , amazing stuff modern oils , my moneys on air leak. As for piston damage wen lean-out , I seized my DT400, [ Jetting] when flat out, and both sides [ inlet/ exhaust] of piston had score markes , where it welded itsell to the bore, Top of piston would only be damaged from heat,[ combustion] with wrong Sparkplug. [ or detonation] no lubrication required here. , leaning will damage sides of piston,

Sounds like to much Air, jetting , air leak , Is it being run flat out when the seizure occurs ? even running out of fuel will lean-out engine:unsure:
