Default sank the sportsman!

i was driving thru the river with a few buddies
and it was after a rain and i didnt realize how much rain we had,
long story short---sank it..completely under and stalled, had to winch
it out

i drained the all the water out i think after about 30 min the bike started
and a sh*t load more water poured out... i changed the plug --anything else i need to
do? it seems to be running fine i road all the next day..

oh yea wasnt my bike---sorry man
