I'm going to guess that your crank was NOT trued and welded. So the crank spread and wiped out the bearings, taking out the pistons and bores with it. Dealer mechanics don't know what they are talking about, I was fed ALOT of misinformation by the dealer mechanic when my Banshee was new. Get your crank welded when you put it back together or it will do it again. Run a good oil, like Klotz, Maxima or Amsoil, not Yamalube. Mix you premix at either 32;1 or 40:1 with premium fuel. And sand puts way more load on the engine than running down the smooth pavement, more load is more heat. Just try pushing the bike in sand and then on the pavement and see which is easier. And get it jetted properly, even and air filter change requires rejetting.
