Change the oil between quick rides numerous times, as well as all other fluids.

Thanks for all the replies!
I've been busy cleaning up the bike.
Ok, here it is I wish it was more exciting.......... but.
travelling along the shore of the lake with my buddies I decided to go out a little bit in the water, I could see it wasn't deep, what I didn't see was the ridge & a drop off the next thing I know I'm in the water over my head, no time to do anything only get back to shore when I look the bike is upside down and floating out, slowing sinking, that when my buddies seen what was happening and came back. one being a firefighter, he stripped down to his underwear & swan out with winch cable in hand, but soon as he tried to attach cable the bike went to the bottom.
He made two more attempts but couldn't see the bike, finally he dove down & could see the tail light and attached the cable to the rear axle ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
It was 10 degree celcius & pouring rain out, & we were about 10 miles from our camp.
Long & cold tow back.
Anyway got all fluids drained and engine filled with oil again havn't tried to start it yet!
I'll let ya know
