[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1176731, member: 68872"] I had to re-read your post a few times and I am not sure that I understand. Are you saying that before you dumped the bike into the water it was already starting to lose power and run bad? You may have siezed the engine, quite possibly due to a too tight end gap on the rings. As the engine heats up the ring will grow in size. If the cylinder grows with it then things are okay, but normally that doesn't happen. A sustained, hard run can quickly heat the piston while the cylinder takes a lot longer to soak up the heat. If the ring gap isn't sufficient to allow for the thermal expansion then it gets too tight and siezes against the cylinder. I would recommend pulling the cylinder head off and inspecting the cylinder. If the cylinder looks okay then I would recommend a new head gasket and making sure it is torqued down properly.
