82 250R low compression

Love my 82 250R! Like you I also am new to 2 strokes.

Update! Well I read a few posts and did what I thought was the correct break in. I started and let idle, cool down. Then the next day idle and cool down, both times about 5 minutes. Went for about a 10 minute ride keeping throttle under half, twice with a cool down in between. The second ride though the engine seemed to slow then cut off, like the piston was seizing. I did not try to restart it and got a tow back. Let it cool, then started right up on the first kick and seemed to run great. Every now and then I hear and feel a clunk come from the engine. Is this normal for a new piston, or should I be taking it back to the shop?
