Hey guys, I went and did it yesterday, was out playin around with my outty 800, in some water and got a little stuck then just dug a hole tryin to get out. I dont have any previous experience with this sort of thing but the air box was not under the water, there was a little water in the box but not enugh to fill cylinders? the exhaust was under and maybe I let off the throttle too much? Anyway the engine Quit, another quad pulled me out wich took some doing and for which I will be eternaly greatfull Then I let it dry off a while oppened the air box looked at it not realy knoing what to do Turned the key on and the check engine light stayed on, waited a while longer and the light stoped staying on!? Then she fired up and ran Pretty good, After running for maybe 5 min ran like normal What can I doo to take care of it and prevent this from hurting somethng in the engine? any and all advise please and why did the engine stop? any Ideas?
Thanks everyone...... Jimmy

water in your electronic
grease up all the connector where they connect

Make sure your oil looks clean and isn't milky.

As others have stated check the electrical systems out (good time to put dielectric grease in the connections).

Check your oil NOW! These v twins seem to hate getting wet and if it is not changed if it has any water in it you will be looking at a lower end rebuild really quick.

Might take as many as eight or nine (my personal record on my old big bear) oil changes to get all the water out. Keep changing it till it comes out clean with no milk and then for good measure its not a bad idea to change it again after a few miles.

Thanks a lot guys. I took a look at the oil and it looks pretty kleen but its due for change in about 30 hours or so, I think I will change it now to be safe. Thanks again, I wondered about the electrical, So just greese all the connections and that should be good a?

Yup grease all your electrical plugs on your bike including your gauge pod.
If your going to be going deep often, you may think about added protection such as snorkels.

Roger that Juicy. Snorkle kit is on the list. Thanks much for all the input
