There is no choke on an EFI bike. There is an automatic enrichment made by the fuel injection system based on temperature.

Once you get the valves adjusted, if it starts I would let it warm up and dump that oil again. It will be contaminated with leftover automatic transmission fluid. Then put a fresh ~ one quart of good oil in it.

If it is still not running right after valve adjustment and fresh good oil, you may have some damage from running the engine with ATF. Rings probably, but also rod bearings, which are flat. The roller bearings on the crank may have survived. OK, so ATF can run hot. It is a pump oil. Yes, maybe short run is OK on ATF.

Maybe you even "cleaned" up the engine!

But get those valves right and yes, another oil change. YOu definitely want good oil in there!
