Originally posted by Rijko View Posti have installed an electronic fuel valve on several bikes ao my Kawa GTR1000, which has no overflow tubes and is known for hydrolock.
Around 15$ off Aliexpress, hooked it up to a switched 12v ... Bob's your uncle.
They are not very big and my buddy mounted one on his GT750 as precaution.
Won't protect you if the petcock leaks into the vacuum hose but adds extra safety.

I wouldn't worry too much about engine damage. Fuel dilution lowers the viscosity, but at idle its unlikely you wouldn't have been putting enough load on the oil film to destroy the boundary layers and thus the lubrication and allow metal on metal contact.
Plus the solvent activity of the fuel probably acted as a half-decent engine flush. If it sounds like it did before when running, just change the oil and filter, make sure the carbs aren't leaking and keep riding it.

I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.
