Was the machine flipped over while horsing around? My daughters machine ate a cylinder after it was flipped back over in the wrong direction. There is a red arrow depicting the correct direction of rotation in the event the machine is turned over while riding. IF the machine is not rolled in the correct direction, it scoops water into the exhaust system. Serious engine damage may occur. (A new piston at $1,400.00 in my daughters case)

The damage was discovered when the mechanic scoped the cylinder through a spark plug port. It took him one minute to discover the problem.
