I have a warrior and at the trails by my house we got this stream and what not, and we go blazing through it, smoke pouring off the motor and was wondering if i run the risk of cracking the block.

 

im no professional but id ride in 90 degree heat for hours and then fly through streams and my warrior is fine. Hope this helps

 

I myself have ridden for 2 hours straight and then drove down into the river in like 3 feet of water, it can crack things so ive heard but i would be more apt to think it would be the head, There is a guy that wants to buy my old warrior bottom end that completely jumped into the river into like 6 feet of water and now the cases will no longer seal on the bottom because it caused the case to deform, i dunno if this it true i kinda doubt it but just thought i would throw this at ya.........

A splash probably wont hurt you but total submersion probably isint good for it. Gotta consider though, would there be a snorkle on there if they thought water would break it?

 

So far I've never had a problem going thru water on any quad or bike, but its something to think about if you go thru colder water. Seeing as the water is usually colder than the outside air you could run the risk of warpage or cracks, but the odds that it'll happen are small. I might give it a 1/1000 of a second right before I cross the water.
