Drowned my bike on the Northern California BDR

Riding down from the summit of Mt Patterson my KTM 500 got flooded out during deep water crossing. Was able to get it dried out and working again…

Love the sun shade for the phone. I was just thinking about that yesterday.

This happened to me once. I literally just waiting 30 minutes for water to settle. After 30 minutes, the buke started right up.

Bike OK mate? Hope you had a safe ride. Looks like fun!

[@austinRCsailing]

@@kennethcooley3445 ya, it’s all good. Was able to finish the ride without issue and has been out for several rides since.

I guess the KTM 500 isn't a water dog.

Is it me or is that wjat KTM puts on as a air filter 🤔

[@darrellhay]

looks to me like aftermarket K&N

[@austinRCsailing]

@@keithschuenke8187 it’s an aftermarket K&N filter that was on the Ike when I bought it.
