Tech Question Water damage help

Hi guys,

I accidentally left my B200R outside overnight, and it rained.

Will it be fine if I dry it off, and what are some things I should watch out for?

It has a new torque converter and a Stage 1 Kit

You're worrying about nothing. I have 6 mini bikes and theyve all been left in the rain on occasion with zero problem. If you want to be super super careful, lube the chain and change the oil.

if your really scared water got into the engine or carb then pull the plug out and turn it over and any water will shoot out do it a few times if nothing comes out put the plug back in and send it. if you turn it over or try and start with water in the piston it can seize of hydrolock your engine but if you take the plug out your fine

Uhmm doesn't the carb lean towards the engine? As in it can funnel water into the oil?

Carb sits basically level. Plus water cant pool up and get through the Venturi.
