Water ingestion ... whoops

[Z0RR0]

So today I was riding out on the trails ... lost balance in a puddle and dropped the bike (CR250).
It was deep enough for lots of water to find its way into the cylinder.
First time it ever happened.
I pushed it out, didn't kick it over, removed the spark plug, kicked it over ... water gushed out. Turned the whole bike over, kicked it again until water stopping spewing.
Put the plug back in, bike fired right up and rode the 2 mins to my place.

Now ... should I take it all apart? I do plan on removing/cleaning the carb ... should I go all the way to removing the cylinder and pulling the engine out?

Am I right in assuming the air filter kept the crud and sand out, and only let through "clean" water? If not, that's gonna screw with my inner bearings!

the best thing you can do is open up the complete engine and inspect...
but if you don´t want to do it change your crankcase oil, clean your carb, air filter box, gas tank and run the bike with a gas/oil premix 15:1 for a while...
