[QUOTE="CDA, post: 10887, member: 103"] If you can find a July issue of Dirt Bike Mag, they have a great article about this same subject. If you are going through a lot of water crossings and could have this happen, make sure you bring a fresh plug and a lighter to dry out the one in the bike. Also you will want to take off the carb bowl to get any rocks, sand or water out of there. Check the float bowl needle to make sure it does not stick, because a stuck float could mean running out of gas out there. NEVER NEVER start the bike before you drain the water out. And you need to do maintenance right away once you get home to make sure no other damage is there, like draining the trans. I have the article and I can scan it when I return to Cali and post if all is interested. [/QUOTE]
