[QUOTE="dirt bike dave, post: 1365691, member: 18302"] The window is for your transmission oil only. Your piston and cylinder are lubricated by oil in the fuel. Not related at all, so improperly installed rings will have not effect on your transmission oil. The black goo from your exhaust is known as spooge, and is from overly rich jetting, a KDX trademark. Is it worth it to tear down the motor to make sure the rings are right side up? I think so. You don't want to risk damaging the plating in the cylinder. On your transmission oil, did you measure how much you put in? The capacity should be marked near the filler. Sounds like yours is silghlty underfilled. FWIW, running a little low on transmission fluid will not hurt anything. I'd just add a little more (maybe 2 ounces), and check it next time you run the motor. For most accurate viewing through the glass, make sure the bike is not leaned over, with a warm motor and transmission. [/QUOTE]
