Yes the oil and water are pumping and that is good. More than a mile or so and the fan would not come on and the friction heat would over heat the engine. I witnessed this with a car towing behind a motor home. Boiled the engine dry and cooked it.
Here is the kicker. Pulling the bike with the chain atached was spinning the transmission. All the gears are turning on the bearings and meshed together. The engine was not turning until it jumped into gear. So before the engine went into gear there was no oil flow to the spinning transmission. This might have done some damage. Only way to tell is try. Can't do anymore damage at this point.

Thank you for confirming what I thought. All he can do now is check the oil for shavings and try to start it.
