i have oil on the top of my piston, i thought the oil might be alittle high so i drained some. could this be a bad piston ring??? also the arrow on the top of my piston, does that arrow face the front or back of the bike

 

i believe the arrow points to the ehxaust. and draining your oil wont do anything, except fry your engine

 

i didnt drain my oil all the way, i added alittle to much, what about the oil on the top of the piston

 

Im gussing its a 2-stroke? If it is it is probally unburnt fuel/oil sitting on top of the piston.

 

yeah

 

you ARE mixing gas with your oil right?

the tranny oil doesnt come into contact with the top end, so adding/removing oil from it will only cause damage to your tranny

 

i figured the problem out, when i stored my bike for over 5 months i put 10w30 oil onto crank to keep the bearings from freezing up on me, so i forgot to get all of that oil out of there.
