Good day!! Here we go.
Went through deep water on stock 2014- 850 xp ho. Wheeler stalled so I winched my self out. Stood it up on back end and drained water from exhaust and cvt plug. Cvt was right full of water, and exhaust not so much, thank god. Checked oil and seems to be fine for level and colour. Water was up to back end of seat with front end up higher so there was no chance of air box and cvt intake taking on water.After a good 10 min on its back end, she stated up like a champ and has been fine so far. I didn't mean to go that deep as we all try not to being stock but hey, it was fun after the fact of realizing I didn't just total the engine. Question- is there any device like a check valve on exhaust system to prevent water back into engine? And should I rinse out cvt housing? If so, how? Water i went through wasn't that thick muddy stuff but it also wasn't clear. Also is there anything else i should check for water? As for stalling I'm sure dielectric stuff would help on spark plugs but I think if I gave more Gass I would have made it through. Hope someone can help!! Thanks lads!!
