[QUOTE="mbaird, post: 1241272, member: 69851"] Out here in Idaho we have to cross water all the time. It will vary from small creeks to rivers 100' across. If the water is higher than your airbox for more than a couple of seconds ,you're not going to make it!! As far as revving your engine high, I would recommend against that. If you do take in water at high RPM's you may hydraulic the engine vs. just stalling it at low RPM's. I can assure you that it takes less time to dry out a motor than it does to rebuild one !!! As far as technique , Ride it as if you were covering a boulder field. Stand up, keep the front end light and ride the motor in its torque range. If the water is deep and running fast, try to lean against it a bit or cross it an angle if possible. [/QUOTE]
