set a fan up to blow some air around the bike would help,the faster you could get it running and riding the better.I get caught in the rain while riding and i do wash my bikes, so 5 minutes of water is not going to kill it.I would change the gear lube too.

Just so you can hear a little encouragement, let me tell you this. I have a neighbor who got a real good deal on a 1500 with a salvage title. The reason for the salvage title was it had been totaled by the insurance company after it had been under water for about 2 days. That was at least 6 or 7 years ago. He described to me what all he did to it to get it running. He is just a little bit above a shade tree mechanic. It is still running to this day. I asked him if any of the components failed in what would be considered a premature time. He said the only thing he had noticed after about 4 years was that the tail pipes were starting to rumble. He figured they were beginning to rust out.

A lot of guys here are saying your bike is toast. They might be right. They might be wrong. It's your bike, your money.

I agree and
dont think the bike is hurt that bad . just fix whats broke and ride on.

+1 on what galaxyhunter said. also you could give it a shot of carb cleaner in each cylinder see if it will fire off and run on that.

Don't let these guys bring you down. You will get her running again. Did you get the water out of the tank?
