Default Bad Ring

I was attempting to rejet the carb on my 2000 lowrider. I turned the a/f screw all the way in to make sure I set it right. Long story short I started the bike and forgot to turn the a/f screw out. It only ran like this for 2-3 minutes. I know have some oil showing up on the front plug. Any help on what this might be?

I doubt it has anything to do with the 2 to 3 minute mis-adjusted a/f screw. Oil showing up at the plug? Pull the plug ao see what it looks like... maybe a head gasket leak? How does it run?

It was running fine. It wasn't soaked in oil, just a drop or 2

Could also be a valve guide seal with a minor leak.
