how deep can u go with an ac 4x4 in water before water gets into teh engine?

 

I have been in as deep as just over the handlebars and never had a problem. Just remember to keep the bike running to keep the water out of the exhaust and the vent tubes mounted at the front of the seat. Now granted it was breifly, I wouldn't reccomend keeping it that deep for more than a few seconds. If you happen to get stuck try to get off the ATV and get the bike afloat, if it is that deep you should have no problem floating the quad. Just remember, keep the quad running!

 

as soon as you master the famous yet extremely fun water wheelie you can go through alot of water for the air and clutch intake is between your legs but forward a lil so you would have to get into about 4 or 5 feet but i mean who can resist doing water wheelies just for fun [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

cats dont like water...

 

Who said Cats don't like water!
Click on the camera below my sig and see just how much my Cat likes the water. Drove through that pond 4 times and never stalled once.

 

The water wheelie! I would have to be in deep water as my cat does not wheeie very well. What is the secrete? Just drive in deep and get the weight back and get on it?

 

Hey catskinner, Is your 500 AC an auto. I have a 2000 AC 500 AUTO , IF i GO IN THAT MUCH WATER MY BELT SLIPPS i CAN' GET OUT.

 

freetrapper, that is not actually a wheelie. If you look close, Anthony was climbing an old Beaver dam.

trop, it is a manual. That is one thing I like about the old manuals, they always have constant power to the ground.

 

water wheelies are easily done first off you gotta have power and i was able to do wheelies with my 500 so should you. then it helps if you have bigger tires for you have more boyancy and they wanna float more on ya. another thing if it helps if it is a grassier bottom or something you can really hook up in gravel is not as good cause ya wanna spin and i found the easiest way to do a water wheelie is when the water is about 4 or 5 inches below my headlights. but once you get the front end up about 6 inches the water hitting the skid plate will do the rest and then let the good times roll i got some awesome pics of me and a grizzley doing water wheelies i will have to post them on here for all to enjoy [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
