I have had my Recon in about 2 feet of mud and water before with no trouble.

 

i had my 220 bayou in about 1 to 1.5 feet of water/mud no trouble either(that bike was a piece of trash)

 

I had my 99 Big Bear up to the racks with no ill affects. Had my 2000 Kodiak just over the floorboards. Six hours later, I got it to run.

 

I've been very deep on several occasions(I had snorkels). Go here to look: http://briefcase.yahoo.com/swampthang2003 look at the pond riding pics. In that pond, I couldnt see my front rack it got so deep. My friend took the pictures from his boat!

 

HA i've got you all beat. I've had my ES so deep in water it rolled over. 2 hours later with a dried out air filter and drained carb it ran again. typical honda! haha

 

i have taken my dads es off into a pond just to c if it would float. IT DOES. i dont have a snorkel either. one time i got water in but the rest it worked perfect. then the other day i went mudden with sum friend and got so much mud on the thing that it clogged up all my carb vents and stuff and shut off complety.
has anyone evr had this happen bf?

I've had my foreman 400 in water deeper then the front rack with the exhaust under water. No modifications other then a UNI air filter and the engine wide open in 2nd gear. I didnt get a drop of water in the airbox . It's kinda cool when your headlights are under water and they still work.

 

I have rolled my TRX 300 4x4 completly over. But thats not all. Five seconds later my brother rolled a Recon over 50 yards upstreem. He was surprise when he saw where i was. I gess he thought I was going to pull him out. No chance there. I am still waiting for the picts.

I always ride in water that is up to the seat. Sometimes when it is past the racks, no problems. my good friend has had water over the handlebars without dieing it out. And that is stock.

 

my friend had my 400ex close to where te pipe under. and it got out too
