I see no responses, so I'll offer this: in your shoes I would
- Fill the crankcase 'to the mark' with a flushing oil
Pull the plugs
Jump a charged car batt onto your bike's batt
Crank it for a minute or so, resting the starter for 3 or 4 mins, depending on the temperature it achieves; repeat 4 or 5 times -- check the temperature of the starter, by feel, frequently (also check the temp of the connections at both [bike]batt posts, solenoid [starter relay] & starter motor terminals ~ warm is OK, hot is not ~ if they get hot, there's a poor connection offering a resistance)
Drain off the oil and discard thoughtfully(!)
Refit the plugs
Fill with a grade heavier than your usual oil & run the motor up to temp over a short ride -- maybe 10-20 miles
Drain whilst hot, refill with your usual oil and forget it ever happened......
