Im just curious... I have no interest in getting a C-Dale , Im saving for a street bike, BUT, how do the electronics hold up in water?? I know some people ( myself ) who like to ride through the creeks with deep water sometimes ( up to a couple of feet ) is it marine grade wiring??

razormaster, these quads were built for racing use and about all the water these machines are SUPPOSED to see is maybe an 8in. deep creek crossing in a HareScramble or other GNCC type event.

I have no idea of how water proof they are. I can tell you that I haven't had any hiccups due to normal stream crossings.

I imagine if I had a guy come in with a Cannondale that had been submerged in water as deep as your talking about, I would have to confiscate his quad and put him under house arrest. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Water must not be a problem. I rode the cannibal in a 1-3 ft creek for about 1/2 hour last month with no problems. I was surprised. I'll be sure not to come into your dealership Knowsalot! don't need no problem with the quadpolice! My wife is enough trouble.

My friend on his 250EX bored it over to a 310 and he rode his in water that was so high it was just centimeters from covering his silencer.
I was like "you dumb@$$ HAHAHAHAAH"

I think you mean 250R not 250EX!
