I found a plastic tube that was about a foot long so if it comes off again it will stick out even at BDC. imagine in a bike that you cant get at. something you never think about untill it happens. kept a zippered lip.

With the plugs already out, you could have put it in top gear, rolled it till the piston came up, that would probably put a bend in the little plastic straw. Then it would have been easier to hook it and pull it out the plug hole. Either way, tragedy averted. We won't tell your brother-in-law. Your secret is safe with us. Unless he's a member here.

If you are keeping the bike inside, there is no need to fog the inside of the cylinder. Heck even in the garage there is no need unless its going to sit for many months, or even years. Stuff an oily rag up each exhaust pipe to seal it off and keep anything out.
