cylinder 2 is the front left side...left are 2, 4, & 6...right are 1, 3, & 5.  Just for future reference.

Good luck on the fix.

AZdougness is right.

PS. dont try to start the bike again until you have pulled the carbs and fixed this problem. This particular problem is exactly how hydrolock happens. Big $$ Big problems if you hydrolock.
