Why did my engine seize up ?

Suzuki DR200, air cooled, redlines about 110kph (no tach). Been riding normally (actually slightly conservatively, not pushing it to 100) all day at about 80kph in about 20C temperatures. Oil at least half full, just within range on the sight glass. Camshaft centre journal seized the next day after about 40km, then released so kept riding, but it's badly scored. Some debris in the filter, probably from that event.

About 40,000km on the clock, never any trouble before, changed oil & filter at least yearly, no change in riding habits.

I can get it fixed, I just want to know why it might have happened.

    Here's a short list of sh!t that can happen-

    One- tear the engine down to find all the crap that has happened.

    Two- 'at least half full'. Well, let me think about that one. Times up! Not good. How often do you ride it that way? And how hard?

    Three- The Suzuki DR 200 is a nice enough bike but as they say in the pits 'crap happens, crap stinks'.

    Four- Guessing this bike is 'new' to you. Better take care of your next bike better.

    It is just worn out - 40k kilometers is a lot on a small air-cooled engine that has probably been ridden hard and put away wet many times. Count your blessings and move on.

    1/2 full of oil will kill any engine.
