okay....first step
Take out spark plugs Drain oil and filter to see if water is in there Open airbox and check for water/cleaning Open drain plug on CVT case If the motor didnt ingest water and you havent tried to start it then it should be okay. If you tried to start the motor and it just stalls...meaning turns over...do above. If you tried to start the motor and it is hydro-locked...good chance you bent something. |

Don't get pissed, it was made to be played with. How long has it sat and not started? That's what worries me. We drown all of mine, all the time. However, they usually start the minute we haul them out. Usually we just Change the oil if needed, drain the air box, and CVT, and ride. If you are going to ride deep, grease the electrical fittings and ingition connections. I check and pack bearings with a needle fitting on the grease gun. Also, change transfer case fluid often with marine lower unit GL5 (when it applies). The biggest pain I have with water is the drum brakes on the older bikes. I can clean them in my sleep.
Utes are tough, I am amazed what they can get through. My neighbor's Rincon was in up to the grips and fired up when we got it to the bank. I will give the honda guys this, they seem waterproof. One neghbor boy takes an LT160 everywhere and it will not die. Obviously water is not good for the bikes, but the alternative for us is not going on the group rides with our neighbors. A creek and river connect our properties. Fluid changes, then hair dryer and wd 40 on switches. Let us know. |

I sunk my 500 in salt water - don't ask... While still on the beach we pulled the plug, and used the pull start to burp any water out. Drained the CVT and then drained the air box, fired it up and limped back to camp. Then I went through about 3 oil changes getting all the grey (oil/water) looking goop out (I just used cheap oil). Last oil change I used proper oil and a new filter. Ran fine after that. Back at home I drained the transmission a couple of times with cheap stuff then proper trans fluid and the anti-freeze to be safe. It's been running great. Thankfully it floated!
