Thanks dogg!! when i changed the oil lately, less than 100 ml was left! the mech told me if ridden for around 100 km more, engine would have seized!! do u think i may have damaged the piston or bore or any other parts?? will get the piston ring and valves checked tomorrow. any other thing i should get checked? never looked into an engine before, hence not much idea abt it.
