I did this to my F650 about 4 years ago, and it's still going OK. One thing I recommend you do is thoroughly lube the cables, including speedo and rev (unless it is electronic) as the only long term effect is on these parts. Mine too took about 4 or five oil changes to get rid of all the water in the crankcase. The biggest scare on mine was being washed down into deep water, with me down-stream and getting trapped between the bike and a big rock. The bike started to come up over me but I managed to wrench my foot out, leaving the big toenail in my boot. My advice is if you do get washed off, get around to the upstream side, but quick.

Lucky for me I have really bad jumpsy disorder. I've dropped the bike on myself once and ever since - I keep hopping off - some times, for no real reason! I need to practice staying on.
I did notice rust on the chain today and the break cable being tight... so thanks for the lube advice. Will do.
