bike is a tad over the fill line so i checked the oil and it had a faint smell of gasoline all hoses are connected, performance hasnt changed, no signs of leaks anywhere, i doubt theres a hole in the piston or something wrong with the rings, its carbd too im gonna try and change the oil again i did add a little bottle of lucas carb cleaner to the gas cause my shop had an extra one in inventory the oil is still sticky and slimy its not like water 97 yami yzf 600cc any tips? ---

Change the oil ASAP. If you have a carb or two running rich that can contribute to gas in the oil. I wouldnt ride like that. Also if a carb bowl float is stuck open that would do it as well. ---
