Scope not needed so much for diagnosing this on :D :'(

Turns out this is a common issue on these, I have heard of 2 others do the same thing around the 50k km mark.

To late to use the scope is what I would say :D

Does something like this happen whilst riding the bike?

What is supposed to be the reason that these engines are prone to that failure? The combustion chamber looks like it is somewhat 'coked' up. Is it fuel injected and has Oxygen sensors?

Valve pop out, found one had come out when I pulled the valve shim out

Not as bad as it looks due to the lighting plus a lot of it is oil from the piston having a hole in it.

Yep fuel injection and has single O2 heated sensor
