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?

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.

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 =)
