When you were riding it and it seized, were you redlining it for an extended period? Like highway riding with that low gearing?

Idling the air-cooled engine for an hour with no air flow probably didn't do it any good either. I'd say that both these mistakes together did the bike in. Lessons learned. Keep it cool.

Cheesy is the WDK (workplace drama king). Now retired. Nope, back in the saddle.
