    Pull the plug and flip the bike upside down and drain the motor. Change the oil and do the air filer. Ride.

    You need to get the engine running ASAP (right now) and get it up to normal operating temp to dry it out thoroughly otherwise you will have a lowerend full of rusted bearings that will plauge you with problems down the road.

    Do you mean that the motor won't turn even if you have the sparkplug out?

    The way I dried out a fellow riders bike was to:

    Remove the exhaust pipe and pour the water out of it.

    Remove the sparkplug and kick the kickstarter until no more water came out of the exhaust port and sparkplug hole.

    Remove stator cover and make sure no water was in there.

    Drain the float bowl of the carburetor to remove water.

    Drain the transmission of old oil and water and refill with new oil.

    Make sure that there is no water left in the gas tank.

    Put everything back together, and the motorcycle should be able to start in a normal fashion.

    If it is hydro-locked you need to remove the spark plug and then turn the engine over to expel the water.

    Time is important. The longer any water remains in the crankcase the more likely you will have a problem down the road with crank and rod end bearings. You need to get the engine started NOW.

    This is no different than a 2 stroke jet ski engine that has been submerged. While racing them if we didn't get the engine running the same day it hydro-locked or took on water it was almost inevitable that they would develop lower end bearing issues.
