Hey guys I’m new to the forums, this weekend I went to Busco Beach in north Carolina and have snorkels I installed myself on my xmr. I was over the seat in water just about all 4 days I was there then the last day it decided to hydro lock. The snorkels were about 1 foot out of water so I got towed out and checked the air box and it was bone dry were the filter is. Then I proceeded to drain the air box tube and it dumped about a gallon of water out, after my motor was locked. I pulled the plugs and pumped it out getting it fire up again. Any ideas were the water could have came from? My exhaust was completely out once it stopped running.

Hello, just joined here as no one I know or have called knows what my issue is.
So here is the following ride to the issue, what's been looked at and where I am now!

Alright so I got a 03 ds650 baja on a trade, battery was to dead to use electric start so had to bump start it, previous owner didn't have an issue starting it but I got it and spent over an hour trying to get it started, finally ran, went for a ride (15-20 minutes) stalled it out and wouldn't start again. Sat for the night and Next day got it going again, went 100 feet down the road, turned around and half way back it lost all power.
I purchased a new battery to use the electric start but found it didn't have spark. Used the online manual and everything (battery, wiring, trigger coil, coil packs, kill switch etc) all tested as the manual says but no spark from the spark plug unless I butt bother plugs together and ground them at the same time.
Replace the battery, relay, plugs, wires, cleaned the ground and checked almost every wire I could in the harness.
I am stumped!
Help would be great and sorry for the long post

I have a 97 polaris 425 magnum 6x6 with following problems.At times it want shut off with kill or key switch.At times it flutters(missing) in forward just like in reverse.It cranks in foreward or reverse.
Could it be cdi unit causing my problem.
Note: I checked switch and grounds by layout of manual...thanks for any help

Alright folks here's the dilemma, I was riding and buried it, shifted into reverse she stalled, no biggie went to fire it up and nothing found out I had no spark, get it home swap coils still nothing, I ohm out the stator it's with in spec, new spark plugs new coil still nothing so I let it sit for a few weeks go back to monkeying with it, and low and behold there's spark out of now where so I put the plug back in it she fires up now I shut her down because I need to adjust the shift linkage I get it all back together and no spark, here's where it gets tricky if I pull the boot off I have a weak spark put the boot back on no spark changed 3 boots and plugs all with the same result if I pull the ignition wire off the coil and put a test light on it I have spark then I don't have spark it's very random no ryhme or reason any help would be greatly appreciated

Folks, I have a 2018 sportsman 850 highlifter with under 20 hours on the machine. Last weekend I rolled it in the water and it was completely submerged upside down, rolled it back over and shut it off. Afterwards I had it towed home and drained everything to include 7 oil changes & filters, air filter, and spark plugs. Luckily, after all the work being done the machine started and ran great and had plenty of power. The screen was acting a little funny cutting in/out and had a delay. So I rode it 3 more times throughout the week and had it in the water/mud again. Now my problem began this past weekend only a few minutes into my ride when it bogged out and died on me in the trail. When trying to start the quad it clicks once like the battery is dead, so I replaced the battery with a new one. Now the quad cranks 1 or 2 times if im lucky but never starts. I removed the belt which is fine. Any thoughts, starter, selonoid??

I have a 300 Polaris hawkeye 4×4...it only has 2 wheel drive right now as it wont engage for all wheel drive....any ideas

I have a 2014 Can Am Maverick Max DPS that is having a few issues. This past weekend I burnt a belt up trying to climb a mountain of a hill. Took it back to camp, replaced the belt with a Can Am belt and now it will not go faster than 35MPH. I checked to ensure the belt was not slipping while idling and all operation seemed normal. The RPM's are also high when driving, normal idle is around 1100-1200rpm but at 25 MPH it hovers at 6000rpm. I will be replacing the spark plugs and gear oil this week because I read that could be a cause but I am not too sure with the RPM's still hitting over 7000 at times. I also ensured the transmission was set to high gear and also moved into low gear. I can feel the difference and hear the difference. Not too sure what else it could be, any suggestions?

I also ensured the performance key is installed and the seat belt was buckled of course.
