When you say you 'blew the piston', what exactly does that mean? ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'

Piston gouged could mean a heat seize or a problem with lubrication, or possibly a foreign object got into the intake. There's only one thing to do - strip the head and barrel off again for inspection. ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'

Well for a start I'd not have worried about keeping it at such low RPM.
Yes, it needs to be run in, but I would certainly be hitting 6-8k at regular intervals, maybe taking it further when the engine is really warm, 65-70 degrees plus.
4-5000 on a 2 stroke, you are barely doing anything to the carbon build up that is going to deposit itself on your spark plug.
What I would do...
Remove the spark plug and replace it with a new one, how desrestricted is your RS?
I'd then fire it up, and ride it gently until the temp gauge says 70... then I'd proceed to lift the revs above 5000. I'd do a few blasts to 8k every now and then in 2nd>4th gear just to give it some additional seating, however you may be past that point with those current rings. Anyhow, you are "advised" to run it in like a sissy, however I had zero problems with my "run it till its warm and increase the revs more and more until you hit 300 miles and then flat out everywhere" |

Go buy a new BR10EG plug, put that in. You won't see over a genuine 100mph, so don't do magic sums the speedo will be lying to you but 100mph for a learner is MORE than enough |

I'd start with the new plug, get that in and take it for a nice ride but try giving it some beans after like 5 miles or so, should warm up fairly fast in the current weather anyway.
Ride away with it off choke, it should run without it happily on a new plug, if not, start it and ride gently on choke for about 20 seconds, knock it off and give it some more revs. Try to keep under 6k until its warm though |

Hi
A BR8 is the plug for a restricted bike. But if you are running in that is probably a good thing (change it to a 10 before you thrash it). An 8 will be less prone to fouling up.
With the spark, first check that the kill switch is set to run (plenty of Aprilias will crank over with the kill switch set to off, just not fire). Check the clearance between the ignition pickup and the flywheel.
I would be more tempted to look at the carb for the reason it was cutting out. Blocked fuel filter, blocked fuel tank breather, or the like.
All the best
