Where did you crack the piston? Top or underneath on the bottom?

With only 50 hours it shouldn't have done that. Your jetting is a tad bit too lean. Not lean enough where it burnt a hole in the piston, but lean enough that in only 50 hours of riding it cracked. When you get it back together check your plug. It should have a brown color to it. Not black (too rich) and not white/gray (too lean).
