[QUOTE="WoodsRider, post: 106729, member: 16545"] [b]Seat deep?[/b] Wow, you'll get to see plenty of racers trying to pump water out of their engines if it's really that deep. The trick to water crossings is to stand on the pegs for better control. Stay loose on the bike (don't grip hard with your legs) since, during a race, you won't be able to see the bottom and a submerged obstacle can toss you and the bike different directions. Keep the front end light in order to get over submerged obstacles. Have your finger positioned over the kill button so if you go down you can kill the engine and, hopefully, not suck in any water. Take it easy if you go splashing through even shallow water you're more likely to get water in the electrical, fuel or air-intake system. Using these tricks I've crossed streams that were headlight deep without any problems. However, I've seen people drown out in foot deep water before. If it's really seat deep, get off the bike and walk it across. This raises the bike so the air intake will not suck in any water. [/QUOTE]
