make sure your drain plug is still in your pvt case, you should be able to ride at least seat high before water starts to get in your pvt, otherwise your rubberseal is cracked or broken

yeah, check your clutch case seals, if your going for deep water, try a snorkel, my 400 is kind of heavy so i got some 4" pvc and got endcaps on it, put them on the front and back, and i get way better traction when riding seat high water, and if it gets too deep, it will somewhat float so you dont have to worry about water getting in your air breather if it gets too deep. your trail blazer is pretty light though, you probably dont need to do it. just thought id add that.

yeah, i was reading on it, and it sounds mostly people have custon airboxes. What they do is take a clear plastic tube and extend it to the highest spot on their bike so it breaths from that, DG doesnt make one, and i dont know who else. i will look deeper and let you know tomorrow, it is late and im about to pass out.
