also mate you cannot just thrash the bike as soon as you have done 500 miles if its been rebuilt it takes alot longer and they dont like being caned for long periods or doing long journeys it makes them seize too ok, adam

you have seized it up mate,that was the noise you heard screaming.it will normally do it a few times if you keep riding it but you will notice it goes again after a few minutes when the piston has cooled down and loosens up in the barrel,you have a problem with the oil getting into the crankcase and/ or a cooling problem .is the bike water cooled or air cooled and have you got plenty of 2 stroke oil in the bottle? let me know these questions and ill help you more ok ,adam
