Oil Plug/Spring/ Pistion Thing

[Ogio_86]

hey guys, i just got a atamik dmx with 140 lifan and decided to do an oil change as good measure, i removed the two oil plugs and let it drain exept one had this spring and the piston came out(dunno what its called and this is my first bike), all good except i forgot what way it came out, can anyone tell me what direction it goes back in and if theres any way it needs to be turned towards? i really wanna ride this weekend and cant till its back in lol

There's 2 oil plugs?? News to me! lol.

I have no idea where that has come out from.

Does it only go in 1 way?

it looks like the skinny bit of the spring sits inside the end of the piston, but i wanna be sure before i put it back in

I dont know about that spring and stuff but you obviously pulled the wrong bolt out mate. Next time remember to undo the other one that nothing came out of exept for oil. You only have 1 drain plug.

thats the cam chain tensioner, you goose

yes, the narrow end of the spring sits in a recess in that piston. and the other end of the spring sits on the bolt...

dont undo it next time
