MotulMonsta Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 I would slow down for standing water or..if it isn't too big, gas it, get the front end up and let the back wheels slam into the puddle...Standing water always deposits itself in low area's, like right before the face of a jump and just after it, inbetween whoops and on the bottom of berms and off-cambers, so I would always try to jump over the water if I can and try to pick the dryest line possible. You can also change to a better filter oil with water resistant properties..It will allow small amounts of water to just roll off..but it's usless when saturated. If I can help it, I don't ride the day of and the day after a rain storm. Not only to you avoid the majority of the water, but you save a shitload in cleaning bills when your done. I used to burn 20 bucks at the car wash after muddy rides. Oh..use a FOAM airfilter..K&N's let water pass right through them and into your motor along with whatever grit it picked up along the way.

l0wrider Posted March 21, 2004 Report Posted March 21, 2004 look on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...&category=43979 theres one, it comes wit eveything but the price is pretty low so you could probably could afford just to buy it and use just the lid. Quote
frocashmoney24 Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 yea buy anouther stocker, or make or buy a aluminum one, thats about the only way around that problem Quote
banshee tuner Posted March 22, 2004 Report Posted March 22, 2004 If you don't allready have them try outerwears they resist a splash of water but not a direct stream like a water hose. They also keep a lot of mud out of your filters. Quote
icemanscold Posted March 24, 2004 Report Posted March 24, 2004 I run 2 K&N filters with outerwears, no air box, and I am always worried about getting water in them. Like he said when you come up to water pin the throttle carry the front wheels, doin this I have yet had a problem. When I go on trips I always clean the filters after every day riding to insure good filtration. Quote
bigboybanshee Posted March 24, 2004 Report Posted March 24, 2004 I'd buy another airbox off ebay...they go really cheap!! I'd rather be safer than sorry!!!! Quote
CRANKINPEDRO32 Posted March 24, 2004 Report Posted March 24, 2004 outerwears would help you out a lot Quote
coolhead03 Posted March 26, 2004 Report Posted March 26, 2004 I have the K&N setup with no outers but still use my stock airbox. I have a lid with holes in it that are covered with foam, I still get good air flow and never had a problem in water. if your riding trails you really should have an airbox,I've never had a problem keeping up with anything because of it.
