Did my YZ250F with diesel, ran it for a about 20 seconds (On a stand) running through the gears and operating the clutch. Drained and repeated. That was 3 years ago and admitedly I haven't raced much in the last 2 years but no noises, other than the usual, no clutch slip or any side effects I can tell of.
Diesel contains oil and was often used in hydraulics in the old days.

thats exactly what i do,it was a tip from my older brother and it works well,fill with diesel ,run for about 20 secs with no revs and then drain. I have  done that for years and it works well.Didnt ask what would happen if i gave it a rev but he said just let it idle.
