So did you pull the plugs out to de water. With your sketchy toolkit, I wondered did you have the plug spanner and flexible extensions required. I own a T7 as well and this is my biggest fear flooding the bike. Since a recent river crossing (I didn't drown it) I've gone through the plug access process at home, and did the mod, but seriously the left hand coil pack was a mission, I think you'd still need the tank off. Great video shame the battery went flat at the crucial bit.
No we did our best and could not get to the spark plugs! we ended up pushing the bike in gear and using the engine compression to try and force any water out before trying to spark the fuel. This seemed to work, or maybe I just got lucky and hit the kill in time to not ingest water?
@Man Bike Swag Thanks heaps for the feedback, Its nice to know of another option if I drown the T7. Ive read with smaller dirt bikes to just tip them upside down and turn the rear wheel in reverse so it reverses the engine and it pushes the water back out the way it came in. Also Ive wondered if this is a secondary function of the tip over kill mechanism. So it dies immediately when tipped over. A secondary benefit. Cheers.👍
Bloody awesome what an adventure hay, flat battery and tires water ingress after a drop in the creek, what more could you want :) what was the outcome of the engine light being on, wet O2 censor maybe.
I'll need to connect to bike to a scanner to get the error diagnosed. I suspect you are right many tripped the 02 sensor. I'll drop the oil very soon and make sure I got no water in the engine.
Notice how your mates use momentum to get through obstacles? But you seem to hinder your progress by holding back. Be more confident! (All respect mate)

That looked like quite the awesome ride mate and great video. For a laugh if you turn on subtitles TH-cam interprets Scott's struggles as music.
Thanks Shane ! LOL I'll have to check it out. We'll still have to get a ride in some time soon!

Tease!! I settled down with a brew to watch and it says Premiers in 34 minutes!!" at least I got a good seat 😆
Lol head down in front 😜

For sure, Lots of mental hurdles to get over. My mind thinks through all the possible out comes and hesitates.

I don't I'm afraid, I was following. I'll ask Chris. It was loosely based on this track. 1drv.ms/u/s!At5jjpmjdpgBpUw3qWsrPVR22K1Q?e=7daB4f
