Advice needed: I mistakenly put in diesel fuel ....

Today I borrowed my friends motorbike, Honda 400cc, for two weeks while he is out of town.
I took it to the gas station and in error filled it with diesel. Before paying at the
cashier, I realized the mistake and emptied the tank (95% of it) and refilled with
gasoline.

Should be ok, diesel acts as a lubricant so all a bit mixed with gas will do is
foul the plugs which may need cleaning/changing.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Others have said it, I agree. Ride it like you stole it till the tank is
down to less than 1/8 and refill it with gas before your friend gets back.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
