are they an interference motor kaz?, the same bike came out badged as Kawasaki 125's for a long time ( KMX?), I know the cam chains are fairly robust but on occasion they did drop a chain, got a feeling they were able to bend the valves but didn't normally destroy the piston ( rebates in piston top )

Same bike KLX125/drz125 same as -KLX110/drz110 just different color plastics. Ya know I can't remember now re interference. but that isn't the problem here Im betting. --UNLESS nephey rode it into a creek and hydraulic locked it.--unlikely though

Before you take note of anything above you can do a simple test.
Put it in first gear and rock it. Is there any resistance ? If not=serious. If there is it's definitely not piston or valves.
