lean deto does not have to be fuel
leak in intake, crank seals, plugged jets, plugged fuel filter, leak in fuel line, etc. can cause a lean condition
Are these installation related problems?

Did you rejet correctly?
If he didn't jet up, that wetpipe probably caused a lean condition for sure. Sounds like a combination of things added up to KABOOM!I was given the OK by the installer that everything was installed and programmed perfectly... So I guess yes... He also tuned the SXR a bit on the rich side for the first few runs and told me that I would see him the very next day on the water where I usually go in order for him to perfectly tune it.
Thanks for giving it straight-up... I did all what the installer wanted me to do, all I really need to know is whether it is truly a defect i guess I got one confirmation with your answerthe point you are missing is your builder should know what the squish is and compression and have all the math worked out. you seem to be under the impression just because someone has the same setup that their ski is identical. maybe they are maybe they aren't. maybe some has different domes or machining done to said domes, maybe a diff base gasket was installed to change squish and compression, maybe porting was done. you don't know and understand all the workings of these parts and how they can have a huge effect for such a seemingly small change. sounds like your builder doesn't either.
I seriously doubt the engine was defective. sounds like excuses and backpeddling by an inept mechanic.
look at the piston. thas deto. how did that get there? when you understand that you will understand what everyone is trying to tell you.
And I feel terrible for you to have a new sxr be mangled in this manner. it sucks bro. see if you can get your money back or some of it and take it to a respected shop after of course you get a thorough understanding of the work you need done so you can ask questions of your new builder to make sure he knows what he is doing.:crutches:

Minimum oil, 16 oz per gallon=40/1 (and use good oil)
Yea, sorry my typo.isnt 40/1 16oz to 5 gallons ?
It was Deto for sure. (something else could be wrong too, though)
Either an air leak (carbs not on tight?).
Too much compression. (Anything over 185).
Wrong jets in the carbs. (Did he even change the jets in the carbs?)

No, there wasn't a next day.. I took it directly back to him.. Yes, he did say it was a defect but he has been a great help in all matters before and after the incident.so did this installer show up the next day on the water? is he the one that told you its a kawi defect?
Thank you all for your help.. turns out that the most likely case was that the circlip was loose and ended up destroying the engine... Thank you all again for you comments and help on this matter
BS flag times two. If you don't change that set up your gonna blow another one in one day. Lower your compression big time.
I run 30cc and 165 compression.
