overheating
I accidentally used a mineral oil based oil. Went on a very short ride, bike overheated. Woouldn't start after cooling down. Flushed out with a quart of oil, then did a regular oil change. Motor sounds like it wants to turn over, and has compression. How much damage could I have done?

if that's the oil you used, it says it is FINE for your HONDA atv
so, that is NOT your problem, unless you didn;t use enough oil and it got HOT from LOW Oil
OR, and not sure if possible, maybe you put oil filter in backwards(its possible on some honda atv's, not sure on your;s or not)
but that oil is fine oil and wouldn't;t have caused you any problem
I'd start with pulling the spark plug, and seeing what that looks like, and from there, try pulling it over(AKA< pull cord/kick starter)
and see if she is free or not
if free, I;d do a compression test and see what that says
and come back and tell us , what happened from this?
here is info off the bel ray site for that oil
if the below is what you used and used right amount, its NOT this oil that caused you your problem
