i have a 2004 yamaha bruin i was wondering if i get into water over my muffler will the belt get wet and slip even though it is enclosed

 

Yes if you pass your belt intake your belt case will flood, and it wont go anywhere.

 

shouldnt as long as ur seal is ok

 

and if it doesnt get past the intake

 

so lets say it gets past the intake and water gets in the belt gets wet my belt will slip fo sure and i wont go anywhere

 

It just depends how much gets inside, sometimes you will still be able to crawl out of the water but other times you wont.

 

does it have to breath where the belt is or can u just cover your belt intake so no water can get in

 

If you're worried about water getting in, rig up snorkles for your intakes, they don't have to be huge just higher then the water you plan on playing in.

 

it does need to breath

if you do get it wet (you will know because it will be slipping) dont try to make it go,,,,,you will only cook a hole into your belt

if it gets wet,,,all that needs to happen is for the cover to come off,,,and the belt to dry out

 

If you are out in the woods there is a drain plug on the right side of the belft housing. Just pull it out and rev the motor a little bit. This will drain the water and make it run again. When you get home, pull off the right side footrest and pull off cover to belt. Let belt air dry and it will be fine. Snorkling is the answer if you run in alot of water or high water. The intake is in the front under the rack and the exhaust is right behind the rear light. It is a black piece of plastic that is wide open for water to get it. DO NOT BLOCK IT OFF!!!!! It will burn up a belt
