Ok guys I sunk my foreman yesterday and I was making sure that I have checked everything I need to!!! As soon as I got it out of the water I pulled the plug in the airbox to drain it and stood the bike up on its back rack to drain the water out of the pipe! Once I drained all of that I pulled the spark plug and turned it over a few times but there was only like a drop or two of water in it! Then I cleaned the plug put it back in and it fired right up! It just ran for a few seconds then I checked the oil and it looks alot like chocolate milk......so we pulled it back to the trailor. This evening I am gunna go buy a gallon or two of oil and try to flush all the water out of it and then Replace it with GN4, and clean everything up and I should be ready to go again right?????

My carb lines are ran up into the pod and the bottom line is pluged! I am gunna change the oil prolly about that many times just depends on what the oil looks like coming out! I thought I would have to clean out the carb but it fired right up the first time I hit the button and ran like a champ!

I changed mine the first time with the oild filter in and got alot of the bad stuff out then I cycled it without the filter the next 8 times!!!

I am gunna go to autozone and buy some seafoam that you are suppost to put in the crankcase of an automobile and put some in my oil it is suppost to help get rid of water and clean everything! I am gunna put some in tonite and cruise it around then change it one last time if the seafoam works like it should......then clean her up and get ready to go again!!!

I feel good about my riding trip last weekend cuz mine only drowned out! I was riding with a KInd Quad 700 (snapped both front axles) 2 week old AC 700 EFI (tranny blown out) Grizzly 660 (just ran like piss aferwards) and Another honda foreman 500 (my tow truck )
