If your 10-liter *truck* engine has low cranking pressure, a *teaspoon* of oil
might be appropriate...

But, we're talking about *motorcycle* engines here, with a small displacement
cylinder and a very compact combustion chamber...

A few *drops* of oil is plenty...

And the engine needs to be cranked over a few rotations to spread the oil
around...

Too much oil in the cylinder will wreck your compression tester's gauge...

Don't ask how I know this...
