hey guys, anyway to test my new snorkel without submerging it?

Try starting the bike up, let it idle, then cover up the snorkel with your hand...If it shuts off means you should have a pretty good seal...thats the only way I know of without putting it in some water. Hope this helps.

you can use a water hose around all the fittings, but the real test is in the mud/water holes.

Do you have a swimming pool???

If you want to be 100 % sure you can try this. Plug the carb opening in the airbox with a plumbing plug the same size as the carb and use the factory clamp. Use a rubber MJ coupling to install a plumbing test plug at the snorkle intake. This test plug has a tire valve installed to allow you to put a few pounds pressure in the sealed snorkle. Spray the entire system including the airbox and where the snorkle attaches to the box with a solution of soapy water in a spray bottle. Bubbles indicate a leak.

I like the hand over the end idea!

the soapy water one would be the one i would do if i didnt have a hole to sink er in, but the hand over the intake, u'd have to have a 1.5in round hole somewhere for the eng to stay running, where are you worried about it leaking? where the snorkle actually go's into the box? i ended up cutting the facotry adhesive and putting on some that i got from home depot. its a rubber type ahdhesive that is ment for plastic and rubber and it is permently plyable. i actually have yet to sink mine:S i need a whench to pull me out haha.
