Had the spark plug out while unscrewing the air bleeder screw. Pretty sure some coolant got in there. I twisted some paper towels to try and soak up what coolant I could get to. I sprayed some fogging oil in the cylinder. Then I kicked it over a few times with the spark plug out and a paper towel on top of the cylinder. Didn’t see much come out. Am I safe? I know I’m a fool, please be easy on me. Not looking to strip the engine unless it’s absolutely needed.
Thanks

I fire it up also. Have a good ride.
If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

Re: Got coolant in cylinder via bleeder
Yep, just go run it, it'll clear the coolant out lickety split. I once submarined my bike (like to the bottom of a 5ft creek), pulled it out, drained it with the plug out and put it back in and rode out.
