crashmctavish Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 The sponge in the airbox sounds like it could work. I clean the air box after every trial now. My seizure occurred after a 70ft climb up a water filled gulley & the box was full! When I turned the bike round to descend it drank the water. Remember the box will be under a few millibar of negative pressure & fills rapidly on a full throttle climb. Pray it does not hydraulically lock & bend the rod. Turn the bike upside down plug out & drain the muddy water from the crankcase! Long term solution fit a snorkel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooseman Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Yep, all that R2W said, with the addition of the larger rubber frame/shock cover (from GasGas UK), a Raddycool radiator guard and front mudflap. All these seem to reduce the amount of water and muck getting to the intake. On my '04 Pro I've removed the 'flapper valve' from the drain and blanked the large oval(ish)drain off with an ally plate. I then drilled 2 3mm holes, one in each bottom corner as drains. Seems to work for Cotswold streams and cack, not tried it in scottish burns yet!
