The piston/rings were done for sure due to the service notice that came out about the 2016-2018 models burning oil, so it was done under warranty under the service notice that Yamaha did. Thats the recommended fix from Yamaha if theres oil consumption that they noticed was a problem with this motor from the sounds of it.
It sounds like a very common thing with those years that Subaru made the 708 motor, which at least the owner had fixed. Just wasnt sure if someone would still buy one after having that work done or not.
