    Question Blackish Wet Oil In Exhaust???????

    KTM 200 EXC GS
    Would this be the norm in the exhaust, seems to be very wet with a blackish oil look & feel. Plug also seems to be a bit oil fouled. Anyone shed any light on this. Would new rings be the go?
    Cheers all.

    [only had bike a few months] Did new plug and oil change etc, old plug was oil'd. Checked on plug after say 2 outings or about 15 hours use and was & still is a bit oil'd. The exhaust pipe can have a drip of oil on the end, and be pretty wet inside.

    Splooge is the norm for 2 bangers. its just un burnt oil. Does it run and start ok?

    What oil you using? some oil worse than others. nowt to do with rings.
    We all take a margin of risk every time we thumb the starter - its just inherent to the sport

    My CRM250 was like that, when I first got it there used to be alot of slime/oil built up on the silencer so much so it oozed out all over the swingarm, took it apart and cleaned it, previous owner ran it on Putoline, I used Castrol TT and it wasn't as bad after but did still build up a little, I think it's just how they are.

    Using Silkoline. Runs ok. Starts after a bit of messing, usually have to stand on a box to get some good kicks if its been standing, but after that kicks up on 2-3 kicks.
