A visual did not require it all valve guides, valves and head are new looks like replaced the oil through the spark plug holes instead of the usall place
On a serious note...empathy....you are lucky to have found the issue before too much damage was done! My v6 diesel has just spun a big end bearing after identical symptoms to your bike..$11/12k rebuild

A melancholy moment for sure, they overlooked this on original rebuild hi when it had thrown a valve on cylinder 1 they replaced the piston and head and had low oil pressure on start up they replaced the oil pumps and it still had the same problem, I open it up and walla, I was hoping they'd missed an o ring BUT its like they forgot to put the piston rings on..... I will be replacing the big end shells sleeves and new rings that should seal the deal
Since it's found in this condition, I wouldn't take anything for granted. Give all parts and systems a through check. No telling what else could be screwed up.
