He just wanted you to take the pipe off so you could have a peak at the piston back in there. You need to not ride it any more. If there was coolant in the bike then you have problems. If you didn't have coolant it may last, but I doubt it. Either the bike got hot and the motor seized or a hunk of piston or something broke off and is hung in the motor. At the very least you are talking a piston and rings, and at worst....well, lets just hope it only needs a piston. To be honest, you don't sound like you have been into engines before. This bike is easy, but you have to have some knowledge of how things work. Have a buddy that can help?
