I'm shocked to hear that ring damage could result in zero compression. Even with a burned valve, I would expect some cranking pressure, even if it was only 25-30 psi. It will be interesting to hear about the post mortem.
Have you concluded that you need rearsets, instead of mid controls?

the pegs are in a pretty good place for me and I'm 5-10.
there is literally no compression and I assumed rings. the engine just stopped running as I was winding out in 2nd gear. I coasted to a halt and initially thought the CDI had vibrated itself apart losing me ignition. I pushed it home and checked the plug, then the carb and finally put my thumb over the spark plug hole and cranked it.
I didn't feel any noticeable vacuum or pressure as I turned the engine over, so I'm assuming rings. I can see the intake and exhaust valves moving as I turn the engine over.
The biggest problem I have with the bike is it's lack of power. Simply rebuilding the engine will not fix this, so its upgrade time.
