[QUOTE="VMax, post: 187686, member: 1689"] What I'm saying is, the 4 skins r not ideal for water incase of drowning out! In AK, where I've done ALOT of trail riding there are sometimes dozens of water crossings per ride! I have found myself drifting down a river reaching for the rear wheel of my bike to many times. In an average of 7 to 10 min I can do the drill and be up and running. Whereas the 4 skins take a bit more effort and the potential is there to do catastrophic damage. I have gotten quite good at reading water and choosing where to cross. I enjoy water and had good success turning my 380exc into a submarine. Everyone seems to think that sealing up the air box is most important. Although important, what is more important is putting tee in carb breather hoses and running them up underneath gas tank to highest point in frame near the neck and reinserting them back into frame. I have had several rides ruined due to drowned out 4 skins. Although sometimes it wasn't to bad to get them going! Wheeew! [/QUOTE]
