The bike was stored for the winter with no fuel treatment and the carb not drained (i know what a ********* ) well it gets worst we where messing around with the bike trying to get it cleand out and had it running once but only on full throttle and with the choke fully opened and boy did it blow some smoke then it staled and we couldent get it started again well we left it over night and this morning the starter was turned over twice and locked up come to find out my buddy left the fuel pepcock in the pri position and filled the cylender and all with gas and to make maters worse i checked the dip stick for the oil and it was dry (it was full befor we started last night ) so now i know what the smoke was from this bike is in otherwise mint condition it only has 1090 miles all highway on it if i drain the oil completely and liet it sit over night will it be ok or have i caused more damage the starter turns over fine know
as for the gas i will take the bike to the mcacanic and let him clean out the carb and tank so my questin is more for piese of mind did i cause a more serius problem with the gas in the cylender
thanks for your help

If you can get the oil problem and let the gas evaporate, then Berrymans B12 fuel additive should take care of the gum in the carb, double the dose run til hot turn off let sit overnight then try it next morning. if you was burning oil then it has to be the oil ring maybe reving it full trhottle and it running too lean overheated it. i would put more oil in and try it and see what happens. lets face it i dont think it can make anything worse.. dont know what country you are in for the berrymans, but you can get it in the USA

we dumped all the fuel and oil out of the frame and case and and ran
about a gallon of clean oil through it till all the gas was gone then
put a new filter and oil and sent it to the bike shop a friend of mine
owns he will give it a good going over he thinks its allright just
needs to have the carb cleaned but he will give it a good looking over
thanks for the help every one i was gonna tackel this myself but after
i posted the question i realized it was out of my leage im better at
breaking than fixing

You caused "hydraulic lock" in the cylinder. You will know if you've done serious damage when you check the big and small ends of the conrod. That means removal of the top end.
