Was on a steep climb, track ratcheted and I got into a bad spot and had to leave the 1200T upside down for about 30-40 minutes while I dug!
After I uprighted it it seemed like it was hydraulic locked.
After killing the battery trying to spin it, we left it there for a sleepover.
looks like the intake and exhaust had engine oil in them?
Where would this have come from? turbo?
Going in to get it tomorrow, should just be new battery, new plugs and away we go.
Any thoughts?

Valve cover has a breather...if its boosted will drain pretty quick as most remove breather tube that goes back to the intake. being upside down prob flooded the valve cover. pointing rightside up should remove oil from valve train. Id be changing oil out as it maybe contaminated with fuel now.
