I have a 2007 h1 650 I live in Florida water and mud are a way of life. This is my first Cat and Im looking for help. And I do have extra fuses for the fan fond that out fast. The belt is not a problem its the air box and intake.........
Thank you...../

 

so.........you want to snorkel it ? Or do you want to just make the stock box more waterproof?

 

I would like a snorkle, but I use the front rack alot. My problem is creek crossing, and the well known flag pond opps.....

 

At the very least make sure your airbox has no cracks and the rubber gasket is in good shape.

 

yep all in good shape.....

 

Exactly. I replaced the cheap hose clamps with the screw on hose clamps, and got them good and tight on all air box and belt housing hoses. I have had my quad in alot of water and havnt ever had it take water. The Cats are pretty well sealed up. Also dielecric grease or liquid tape work well for the fan connections. My fan has NEVER blown a fuse, and ive sunk the front end in water.

 

ur 650 has a removeable piece of plastic right in front of the handlebars right? 4 of my friends have 650's and 700's and they run the snorkels there so they dont have to cut plastic. look up under the plastic, u will see a plastic piece that both air intakes run into (engine, and belt). un-snap the top from the bottom piece, undo the 2 hose clamps, and pull like h@ll. now u can put 2" elbows to the factory rubber hose, and run them on out. the belt exhaust is a lil more work, but is pretty easy. where at in fla are you?

 

If you give me an Email address, i can send you pics. Thats exactly how i installed my hidden snorkles, but they are just pics of the installed snorks, not the process, which is easy.

 

cape coral, and thank you all for the information. and I sent ya an IM for the pics, and the fan on mine blowes out, so going to home depot for the liquid tape . Thank you......[img]i/expressions/beer.gif[/img]
