Welcome to the forum YZF 450 MR! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I wouldnt worry and I wouldnt change the oil. Put the filter back on and ride.

And since it was damp out I really don't thing you have anything to worry about. Maybe shine a flash light down in the intake to see if there is any debri in there.

So do they make a product to clean the combustion chamber and hey do they make anything or any type of chemical to help clean the carb or injectors... i know they make fuel injection cleaner for vehicles and i know my YFZ is not fuel injected but do they make something to help clean build up?

What makes you suspect you need it? Is the compression too high?
As far as carb cleaners go, sea foam works well.

Why do you think you need to clean it?

I take my carbs apart to clean them, Using carb cleaner and compressed air. I never have tried one of those put in the gas tank types like i use in my car/truck.

Seafoam works great. Just put it in the tank when you fuel up. Put in 1 once for each gallon of fuel. Cleans out carbs, valves and combustion chamber.

couldn't have said it better myself, changing the oil wouldn't hurt, but if anything got in the oil from not having a oil filter on, i'd be ALOT more worried about my piston rings haha...anyways you do have a secondary screen so hopefully that helped, nonetheless you should be fine. Don't do it again =)
