[QUOTE="MikeT, post: 813442, member: 21398"] The ring (if it is seized in there) isn't really "stuck" where oil or a cleaning fluid would help. The ring is actually held in by melted piston material. When you take it out you should see a rub mark on the piston right over the ring holding it in. That said, without seeing your bike this is my best guess from nearly 20+ years of experience with 2-strokes. I might be wrong but a through investigation of the your end is definately in order. I can't think of anything else that would make it do that. If it is seized in there, you will need to get a new piston, ring, and gaskets. That usually will cost you anywhere from $65-$100. Changing the top end (piston and ring) is really not hard. If you lived near Charlotte, NC I'd do the work for you for free. :) [/QUOTE]
