When things like this happen, you don't remember things, I don't remember shutting the engine off, did I wait till it was righted and went that 5 ft to the parking spot or what. W/fresh Mobil 1 synthetic, it should have been ok, but I don't know, I'm not a trained motorcycle mechanic. I am going to spend $500.00 either way, the insurance company can pay for a professional to make it right.
And the bottom line is you have to do what makes you comfortable and gives you peace of mind for the long haul.
No worries.
