Hello everyone, I finally started dismantling my 1990 Ke 100 to fix a few things and the piston is seized. I sprayed penetrating oil in the chamber and was able to get it to unstick but now it feels very rough like it wants to seize again. I don´t want to start it till I fix this issue. Should I just pour oil into the piston and chamber and try to work it in? The transmission oil is filled and I have cranked the bike numerous times to try and work oil into the piston that way but it does not seem to be helping. Any thoughts on this?
