Well my dads 05 rancher is some how getting water in the oil. I have heard of sevral ranchers always getting water in just wonder if anyone else has had this problem and wonder what they did about it.

Hmmm....now HOW could WATER be getting in that bike??!!

From what I have read, they say that it floated around
in the pond more than being rode .

travis everyone I talk to says the recoil starter seal..They said ranchers seem to have their seal eaten up extremly fast.

ill look at it tomorrow

I had a water problem for awhile on my Rancher, I sealed the recoil and still got water. It wasn't until I rerouted the crankcase hose that I stopped the water.

What year is your Rancher? Also, why would rerouting the crankcase vent stop the water from going in your motor as long as you werent filling the air box with water?

All I know is that even after I sealed the recoil I got water. After I rerouted the crankvent I didn't get anywater at all. I sealed the box tight.
The only reason I did it was because you could see where the water would come in the box behind the rubber rivets that hold the crank vent in the airbox. My guess is that it was getting into the engine there.
2005 350.

I see.

all honda's are bad about leting water in through the pull starter i recommend taking it off and silicon it all up and put it back on and it should be ok
