just want to say these videos evidently have had TONS of work put in them, really fun to watch and very entertaining with all the dirt bike memes in them. keep up the brilliant work!
Hey Ho, Good Video, as usual. One Tipp from me: The Air Filter has to be really dry, otherwise starting can be a Problem. Best way to dry it is with the exhaust Gasflow of another bike. Just hold it in to the stream in a distance of about 50cm / 2inch until it turns dry.
Good topic. Excellent tip re hitting the kill switch if things go pear shaped. I was lucky to avoid a full engine rebuild on my WR last year by just hitting the kill as I went too deep on a crossing. Still quite a task getting her sorted as she sucked a gut full of water but definitely better than a rebuild. One other tip I would suggest is walking bikes through with two riders per bike (one each side of the handle bars) for the very deep and fast flowing crossings, we used this technique recently in the VIC High Country with good success. Yes you get wet but it sure beats a wrecked bike!
I just used the tips from this video today (plug out, water out, drain float, clean plug). Drowned my Xtrainer, riding alone, it sucked. I killed the battery tho. it was ALMOST starting! Had to get a jump start a couple hours later from a DEP officer on a ATV. No one else on the trails all afternoon. (I had battery jumper cables). Bad afternoon. Going to do the transmission oil, carb cleaning, air filter service this weekend. Also change out the fuel in the tank, just in case. And I already ordered a kick starter. Screw this battery dying crap ever again LOL.
Artful Alias, I agree as far as avoiding wd 40 for electrical connections. It does conduct electricity. I learned the hard way when my bike wouldn’t start after cleaning out the connectors with wd 40. A mechanic told me to use real electrical contact cleaner, and after cleaning the wd 40 out of the connectors, the bike fired right up!
Good tips! I also carry a bic lighter or two in that waterproof ziplock bag. It helps to dry the spark plug and you can also add a small amount of fuel to the spark plug hole and flash the cylinder to get rid of any water left after flipping the bike and draining (I’ve used this method on drowned outboards and it does work well). Cheers, Kevan
Check the routing of your breather hoses, seal of the air box, sparkplug wrench, tools to tear down your carb, airbox and exhaust, dielectric grease in wire connections, walk the crossing or follow the other guy, finger on the kill switch and don't die. I think you summed it up pretty good!
One more thing I would mention is that if you have an air cooled bike, you should let the engine cool down a bit before water crossings, otherwise you risk the engine seizing up due to the sudden drop in temperature. Great video as always!
Hey man!!! Thanks for the tip, actually I have a friend that has a WR250 and we always joke around that his bike only sees water and immediately goes off, we didn't know why but now we can continue joking around and know why we're laughing (those damn breathers)... You always helping man, you always helping...
i am a new rider, with a new bike and very little mechanical experience, this video just freaked me out a little, i need to build my offroad skills and mechanical skills significantly beforee i go anywhere near water
We massively flooded 2 bikes last year with some nasty, muddy swamp water. One of the bikes was a big beast (650cc desert racer), the other a 250cc 4 stroke. We knew we were heading into some dodgy patches because we had reece'd the route the day before. We took a quad with us which ended up being a lifesaver because we were able to tow both the bikes out to a road for pick up. Point being, when possible, plan ahead and have a recovery plan. If we had had to push those bikes out of the bush it would have been hours of full on suck. On a side note, getting the bikes running again wasn't too arduous. We took the spark plugs and air filters out, and hung the bikes from the front tires from some trees for a few hours, changed the oil and both bikes were good to go the next day.
@@KastanDay We hung the bikes and did the oil change at the cottage, not in the bush. It wasn't so bad. There were a few fizzy pops had. I am Canadian and trying to do anything at a stand still in the bush is the worst. We have mosquitoes and biting, stinging things that are big enough to carry a toddler off.
I always carry a pair of cheap Crocs (not the animal kind) when adventure riding so that I can walk a deep river first (and then ride across afterwards) in my Crocs. I strap my boots to my bike and put them back on on the other side. This way, I don't spent the next 8 hours in wet boots.
Another great video. One note: In several cases, I saw some of your guys on the far side of the water crossing right in the way of the end riders. WTH? 1:30, a guy was walking across the trail, in the way, as a guy came out of the water. What a peckerhead!
Excellent practical video. Only thing I would add is that it is a good precaution to wade across first with a dry stick first to check depth against your bike. Water depth can be very deceptive and there can be deep pools in the centre of a river. If you are in a group then a tow rope can be used to pull a bike with rider walking beside it across in really deep rivers rather than risk riding and destroying your engines.
I only use silicone spray on all parts. Plastics, rubber and electrical connections. Rubber and plastic dont like WD40. Greetings from Germany. I love watching your Videos, keep it up!
Ive seen the damage from a crashed jet ski that was held wide open as it was sinking. 750cc 3cyl Polaris 2 stroke. Crank was in 5 or 6 pieces and Pistons were shattered. Common on snowmobiles too from going through ice or not making water crossings. Bent rods and broken cases are very expensive
die electric grease all your plugs when bike is new and once a season to keep moisture out of plugs. corroding prongs will cause electrical problems that are hard to solve
Great video as usual. Use real contact cleaner for electrical connections. If they're stuffed with waterproof electrical grease ahead even better. This may sound like heresy but I don't like WD40 except maybe on garden tools. I admit it is a water displacer, thus WD [not a lubricant or protector]. But it leaves behind a residue that attracts contaminants and hardens like shellac. If I have to use it on anything mechanical or electrical to flush water, I then flush the WD with the appropriate gunk for the application.
Good Bike Maintenance tip that will help with water crossings - Cover electrical connections with grease or Vaseline. This will prevent any moisture from contacting the connections while it sits, and will also stop water from contacting them if you should drown it.
I have never done a water crossing and was wondering how you would get the bike going again after it had a gut full of water. Great Video I hope I never have to use the information you just gave on my bush pig
I live in warwick qld. Really keen on attending a enduro/trail riding tuition/camp event. Do u know of anyone that provides this apart from Lyndon H. He has one coming up at batemans bay. A tad far. But i will attend if nothing closer. Any feed back will be appreciated. Thanks
I just picked up my first D Bike (2017 YZ450F) and had it out in water holes yesterday... Its a handful but a hoot all at the sametime it doesn't help that the bike is a monster...
@@crosstrainingenduro it's a mucho handful I haven't left 3rd yet and it's got legs.. Lower revs not so much but once it gets up in the power band, Yikes. I'm taking it easy on the throttle, it's a bucking Broncho.
Crap, I didn't realize the risk of internal engine rust, drowned my bike two times during one ride a few weeks ago and I've been waiting for the new oil to arrive and thus haven't changed it yet. I wonder if I should pre-flush the engine with a wrong oil and then flush it again once the correct one arrives, or whether I should just wait for the correct one, as it will only be a few more days?
i'd would do the flush immediately, freeman. on the cambodia motorbike tour, bikes were drowned everyday. if it was really bad they would flush with the cheapest motor oil twice then put the good stuff in.
@@crosstrainingenduro You are spot on, I did some additional reading and found out I should do the flushes until there is little to no emulsion and the last flush should be after a short ride, so that all the water is mixed with oil, since it likes to stick to some aluminum parts. So I've put a mineral oil I've had lying around and will do the flush again (maybe twice, depending on emulsion in the oil I've just put in) once the good one arrives. Apparently, cheaping out on this could really bite you in the arse, thanks a lot for the advice :) .
Thankfully ive only ever drowned my bike once and we took off the sparkplug and dried the airfter and starting kicking it like it was a dead horse and eventually we got the plug back in and started it up the water went through mu exhaust though so my bike was really loud for a while
@@crosstrainingenduro Figured as much. Australia is beautiful. I've always wanted to ride there, but being from the USA getting the money to go hasn't been easy.
my bike has a water detector in the airbox, so when the detector in air box detects water it kills the engine instatly to prevent water getting suckied in to the combustion chamber
then you have no issues. you just pick it up and keep riding. they are usually very well sealed and with no air going in or out the engine you have no issues other than deciding how long you laugh at your mates who are pulling their bikes apart to keep riding
i think that could apply in the old days with air cooled engines dan, haven't heard of it being an issue with radiators though. good question though for very deep water crossings....
@@crosstrainingenduro most of our bikes here are air-cooled. Either 125cc 2 strokes or 150cc 4 strokes. With some exception like the 125cc 2 stroke Kawasaki KMX 125. That's because the ones with radiators are too heavy for most of us... being generally smaller/shorter than you guys hehehe. It's very rare to see 200 to 300cc here. Aside from being heavy, it's usually too expensive for most of us weekend riders. :-) I asked because on our last ride, we crossed a river after speeding along a dirtroad. The engines were still hot and we just crossed right away. You can see steam and hear the water boil as the bikes enter the river. One of the guys said we should've waited for the engines to cool down. The rest of us looked at him and like.. you want us to wait while we're still pumped with andrenaline. :-) But when I got home and reviewed the video I took of us crossing. Seeing all that steam and hearing the sound of water touching hot metal made me worry.
@@crosstrainingenduro oh, yeah. i drowned my bike and made the wise choice of starting it right away. I eventually got it to start after so many tries of kicking it. Got home with a weird sound in the engine. Conrod bearings damaged. Piston and rings too. Learned my lesson the hard way. :-(
One other tip, if you got water in your oil, and you have a sight glass, it can have a milky color to it. That’s bad. Get it out of the engine and don’t try to run it like that.
take off your pants, then fill them full of air, this creates a flotation device that you can now secure to your bike. this will allow you you easily float across, or at the very least keep the airbox above water - Bear Grylls
Or you can have your support crew dismantle your primary machine whilst you continue to ride on the back-up bike which they’ve prepped and fuelled up for you.

It pays to be cautious, Dan. Especially with a four stroke where a decent drowning can have lasting effects on the engine.

the dread hike out of the forest... glad you avoided it. we've only done it twice in three years.
I love how "not too arduous" == hanging your bike from a tree overnight + oil change in the bush. So easy! hehe. You're hardcore, cheers mate.
@@KastanDay We hung the bikes and did the oil change at the cottage, not in the bush. It wasn't so bad. There were a few fizzy pops had.
I am Canadian and trying to do anything at a stand still in the bush is the worst. We have mosquitoes and biting, stinging things that are big enough to carry a toddler off.
Great advice all around. I baptized my bike once, and had no idea what to do. Luckily I was with others that did, and they sorted me out.
Great video. I stress out when I go in water.
I always carry a pair of cheap Crocs (not the animal kind) when adventure riding so that I can walk a deep river first (and then ride across afterwards) in my Crocs. I strap my boots to my bike and put them back on on the other side. This way, I don't spent the next 8 hours in wet boots.
I can't seem to find goggles with built in snorkels for those extra deep crossings? Any idea where should I be searching?
Get a pair for swimming and drill a hole in your helmet.

Here in the Northern Territory during wet season we find that crocodiles are helpful to focus a rider's attention during water crossings.
some of them are quite friendly too th-cam.com/video/HvZYM0EyCYI/w-d-xo.html
and here missing kick starter on new models comes handy when you drawn a bike...

klr 650 essential mods, breather t link mod :)
if the spark plug on a 4 stroke gets water on it, probably have to replace. 2 stroke plugs seem to hold up better.
Where do you ride? It’s beautiful.
East coast of Australia, but our vids often mix in some footage from Canada and occasionally Romania.

What if your riding an electric bike? 🤗
you get a free afro apparently
then your fucked mate
Just put it in hover mode.
crushedcranium get a real bike then
then you have no issues. you just pick it up and keep riding. they are usually very well sealed and with no air going in or out the engine you have no issues other than deciding how long you laugh at your mates who are pulling their bikes apart to keep riding
Submerging an aspirated carb is one thing, what about a fuel injected system? A friend of mine found out. Cost him thousands.
“Don’t go first.” No one goes in to the water waiting for the others haha
Should you let your engine cool down a bit before crossing?
i think that could apply in the old days with air cooled engines dan, haven't heard of it being an issue with radiators though. good question though for very deep water crossings....

One other tip, if you got water in your oil, and you have a sight glass, it can have a milky color to it. That’s bad. Get it out of the engine and don’t try to run it like that.
yea if water get mixed with EO it just turn milky
Look for the ripples in creek crossings. Ripples = shallow
ripples = Sharks, no ripples = crocodiles
Dirt Nap :(
Stand on those damn pegs so you won't be " Dead Meat On The Seat" ,love the terminology.
take off your pants, then fill them full of air, this creates a flotation device that you can now secure to your bike. this will allow you you easily float across, or at the very least keep the airbox above water - Bear Grylls
all good butt watch what oils you yous to clear water you can reck the friction plates on wet clutchs witch is most bikes you'll ever take in the mud
That is MUPPET MEAT if you don;t mind, thank you very much.
I just send it all the way through
I belong to those who hate water crossings - do not understand this kind of fun.
Long branch. Poke around
Or you can have your support crew dismantle your primary machine whilst you continue to ride on the back-up bike which they’ve prepped and fuelled up for you.
How cool would that be... 😂
I prefer to cross water while sitting with my feet in the air so they don't get wet
I practiced water crossing in my family pool....my wife wanted to kill me...LOL
🤣if I didn’t I didn’t o first. Probably still be waiting to get back home.. 🤔
U hit all the keys, same in a jeep
or lean back and skim it hahaha
As i always say, when you're fixing your bike, you're doing it wrong; you should let someone else fix it...... i'm always that someone else.
