I just got a call from my local Yamaha
dealer telling me that my brand new 1984
RZ350 ( ~1500 miles ) tried to weld its 
rings, cylinder, and piston into one immovable
structure.
This probably explained why it refused to start
one day, but what I'm wondering is what could
have gone wrong.  The service guy said that
the cylinder was covered with burnt oil, but
he also said that he wasn't sure what that
meant because this was the first RZ350 he's worked
on.  He's going to bore it out and fix it ( under
warranty thank the gods of motorcycling ), but
I would like to know what happened so I can
keep it from happening again.

PS  I kept the injection oil tank filled
with the proper oil, so I don't think that's
the problem.
