[QUOTE="MikeinFresno, post: 193543, member: 40"] yes, it will probly be destroyed if it isn't dealt with within a day or so. The main thing is not whether it will start n run at the moment, but the water has to be removed and the insides lubed quickly to avoid ruining the internals by rust and corrosion. If the water is real muddy it may not be a good idea to try n start it, especially if it was still running at the time it when in as it may have sucked in the dirt/abrasives too. It would be like a major dusty ride without an air filter in the bike. I had a bike, with me and Rack, go over a waterfall in clean water. It was in there for about 2 hrs till it was found and hauled out. I did not try n start it or even turn it over at all. Towed back. Took it apart the next day down to the frame. Lots of sand and dirt every where. It cleaned up and ran well. It did however seize the cam due to me not lubing it well enuf on re-assy. [/QUOTE]
