The P650 and P700 CVT intake is under the small cover just below the handle bars.

Sounds like you had fun, way to go.

 

i went through ice water up to my racks on my old bayou 220..that thing was an indestructable beast.. the ice was like one inch thick..i fell through and then plowed my way out like a 100 ft..it was fine after that too.

 

You didnt fall through the ice, you broke through the ice intentionally so you could cross the freezing water's and cool your engine off. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Ok guys...is water up to the seat okay for long periods of time. When riding I like to do some fishing and sometimes I have to ride the ATV down into the lakes to get to where the fish are. I've never had any problems but it can't be good? Got some nice size trout though.

 

The belt intake is under the racks on the Grizzly. So anything over the fenders is to deep. Besides if the water is over the fenders you need a boat not a quad.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

lol...as long as it doesnt shut off you'll be fine...if it shuts off dont start it back up...ull suck in water and probley mess something up...take it home and change the oil...start it up for it a little bit...and then change the oil a few more times...

 

theres one of those in the woods behind my house...theres 3-4 pool of water...the first ones are only about 6-12 inches deep depending on how much rain we've gotten...the last one is about 2 foot deep...it was a big deal 2 years ago when i had never driven anywhere but a field...hehe...now im trying to dig it deeper...its mostly sand at the bottom i think..

 

Yes I know all this but having the motor submerged for long periods can't be good?

 

I agree but realisticaly normal driving would only have the engine under water or partially submerged for a few seconds. The worst that could happen is it would suck water into the engine and you would have to drain the carb and cylinder and change all your fluids.
