    Buggerd engine?

    Hello guys, I'm in a bit of a pickle and in way over my head and I need some advice. Bike: Yamaha YZF-R125 Problem: Buggerd engine? So, a few weeks ago, my Yamaha with 11K on the clock ran into a problem, I was riding home and suddenly I lost all power from the engine ( I managed to keep it going by dropping it throw the gears) but then all the power came back (Just some crap going throw the carb I thought), okay, no problem, this happend a second time time, same as before power dropped, I dropped the gears, power came back, only this time , a noise came aswell, It's hard to pin point what the sound was, but it was kinda like a loud ticking noise, coming from the top end of the engine, (Tappets must be lose, I'll run it into the local garrage) , leave it with them they said, cue one week later, it's not the tappets. Turns out, the engine had seized (I did cheek the oil 2 days before the original problem all seamed fine to me), apparently the piston eye-let (you'll have to forgive me here) had seized to the piston, caused the piston to jump or something and dented the cam/ crank, (they showed me the damage and there was scuff marks on the cam? and engine cylinder aswell) , and they want to do a full engine re-build/ get a new engine. Now what I don't understand is, the engine was working about fine, no loss of power after this (apart from sometimes at idle it would stall) but the bike worked fine, apart from this noise, hell I even ridden it to the garage. So my question is I'm I being f**ked with? TL;DR Engine f**ked, but not f**ked, I'm I being conned?
