Any tips for a dragon that was 6' under water. I pulled the plugs and pulled the cord till the water was out. It started and ran fine the 10 miles back to the trailer. The only damage I found was the blown headlights.

you will be ok...put her in a shop for the seat to dry etc...make sure fuel is ok...you may want to disconnect as many elec connectors as you can and reconnect with dielectric grease applied..
She is in my heated garage now. I did notice that my fuel gauge shows near empty, it has a full tank.
bull, drain the tank..put in fresh fuel with red heat, change chaincase oil...drain and refill 2 stroke oil(bleed pump really good), dielectric grease all conections....and get it running again to get heat in the motor to dry it out good...crank the garage heat up for at least a day....

You already did the best thing that you could do for it. That is to get it started and running ASAP. That getting the motor warmed up, dried out, and lubed again. I realize that you did it more out of neccesity because of where you where, but that is always the best thing to do. Now like the others have said, pay attention to the electrical, and make sure to grease your skid front end driveshaft,jackshaft ect... You will be fine.
Thanks for the feedback..
knock both clutches of it before they corrodes on
take the seat off and remove cover that sponge will hold water for ever
drain fuel and oil resovoirs and refill
