flattrakker Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 if you have the stock airbox (ie. no pod filters or such) prolly up to your seat as long as it doesnt get shut off when in that deep. if you do have pods or such prolly not even over the tires. ive been in some deep water with alot of my machines.

Ricehater Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 (edited) Why you hating on your shee..... making it go through water??? :sad: If you have the stock air box you should good as long as the snorkle doesnt go into the water If you have pods ..... stay outta the drink Edited October 10, 2007 by Ricehater Quote

NYUK Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 if the water is getting in your goggles with you standing on the pegs.IT IS WAY TOO HIGH! Quote

Pods are a type of air filter that you replace the stock air filter with to improve performance... take your seat off and see if there is a big black box(stock filter) Edited October 10, 2007 by Ricehater Quote
pweezy42 Posted October 10, 2007 Author Report Posted October 10, 2007 yea its stock but i am happy w/it 4 now 1st get used to maintaining it then start upgrading more,it rips already(check sig 4 upgrades when bought) water just worried me a lil i guess i will keep it under my seat then...if i happen to go tooo deep should i shut it down or get out as fast as possible?

snowmanzz13 Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 well, if an when you go through water, make sure your motors not taking any in, like if ur stator cover happens to be a little loose, it might take in some water(had it happen with my blaster) an make sure the splashing from your bike doesnt get to close to the airbox inlet, basically banshees don't like water but dont let it stop you, when she shuts off from suking water into the carbs, you know your limits Quote
Ricehater Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 i've never had mine "too deep" i use the pull out method ... i dont want kids!!! i have more expereince with v8 engines ..... but water doesnt compress very good and can damage cylinder heads and pistons.. so if i went too deep i would shut it down take it home and drain fluids Quote

Bansh-eman Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 keep in mind your stator isnt much of a fan of water either, so if you get water in there from a crappy rubber gasket then that can end your day as well.. Quote
Bansh-eman Posted October 10, 2007 Report Posted October 10, 2007 stator??? the thing that makes all the electrical power for your motor to work.... under your left leg when sitting on the bike... Quote
