Please Help ! Diesel fuel in tank

Have I damaged the bike?
How meticulous shld I be on cleaning her out? Am broke, but if needs be?
Oil and oil filter? Fuel filter? New plugs? Pull and drain fuel lines? Injectors? Any damage to engine likely ? :-/
Oil and oil filter should be fine. It would be nice to change the fuel filter but the fuel recirculates so .uch it will probably was out quickly. I would pull the fuel line from the tank and the rail with the injectors just to dump the rail it probably was pinging bad do to the lowered octane. Taking the tank off is easy then you can stand it straight up and get most of the fuel out. Just lay a towel on top of the engine to catch the fuel dribbling from the line. The tank has a check valve in it so fuel will not come out when you remove the line. Oh and I've been using the same crush washer on my bikes since new. At least pull the plugs inspect and clean them.
 
diesel in a gas engine is way better than gas in a diesel motor my opinion clean all the diesel out you can then run gas through it more then likely smoke for a bit but should be okay might need to change out plugs they might foul up. awhile back ago there was somebody (no names to protect the ,,,we will leave it that)that put diesel in a harley caught it before it got started drained fuel tank out filled with gas it was fine

Thanks David, very nice of you
 
I put diesel in mine, and it started running like crap and I didn't understand why. I had recently added fuel, so I opened the gas cap, and the smell instantly told me what I'd done. :banghead:

Drained, and refilled, and soon all was as if nothing had happened.
I imagine that electric car wouldn't run good on diesel :p
