Default Today The Suzuki DR600 Died.

Today after 4 months and alot of work to get the roadworthy i took the 1988 Suzuki DR600 out for a ride with a mate of mine and it was all going well then when i was slowing down to take a corner going from 3rd to 2nd gear it stops no warning. When i tried to start it again i got nothing i pushed the kicker down and it was not getting any compession. We are searching for a answer our thought is the exhaust valve seals. Does anyone here have any thought on what else could cause this problem and im thinking of droping the motor of a early DR650 in but im unsure if it would be a straight bolt in job or possible.

Any help would be welcome
