sooo my kid put the water hose in my muffler. And filled her up. Now water in oil. What do I need to check besides the obvious water I have in my oil now. Bike turned over and idled fine after it pushed about a glass of water out of exhaust. Looks like I'm doing plenty of oil changes tomorrow after work. Anywhere else I need to check.

no tips or pointers i dont want to mess anything up. any tricks you guys know to help get all the water out. hopefully the valves or rods arent messed up.
Just change it until it's not milky anymore. At least it's clean water and not muddy swamp water so you should be ok. Can put a little seafoam in the oil to help get the water out.

So I flushed it with some diesel and cleaned with some WD-40. Then did two oil changes with Marvel Mystery Oil and El cheapo 5w-40 mixed 50/50. Going to pick up some new filters to see if that gets the rest of the water out. There was just a slight haze to the oil,im gonna do 1 more change with the 50/50 mix and then try one with 100% el cheapofore putting the T6 in her. At least this has me getting to learn lot about my bike while i have the side panel taken off.

Yea I sunk my 650 with just 18 hours on it in a swamp. Screwed up everything I now have a built 840 engine so I kinda won. Lol
that's crazy how things work out. This bike my wifes only had 23hrs.
Reminds me the time my 8 year old son tried to help clean Dads new bike, he used hand cleaner with sand in it. He was so proud of the job he did, what could I say.
You have to love you kids. I was a bad boy when I was little. Reminds me of something I would have done. Good luck. :)
Yeah i guess it was a lil payback from all the things i did. The bike should be fine it took a total of 4 changes with the MMO/OIL and Diesel/Oil. It still has the cheap 10-40 in her but i will change that when i get around to it.
It sucks now ,but when you get older you will look back on this and laugh!
laughing at it already.
