    Submerged bike

    Yo fellas

    I got overwhelmed by the ferocious rivers at the gutbuster and got swollowed up. The river consumed both my bike and myself.(bike went completely under water)

    Obviously we managed to get it going again, but is there anything I should be doing to ensure that it doesnt rust inside the motor etc? I got no ideas!

    Any help will be much appreciated yo

    Flush the engine out with kerosen best to do it 3 or 4 times turning motor over by hand then a couple oil flushes running the motor

    speaking from experience got caught out last centry on 42nd traverse

    it was a 2 stroke though... was under less than that. All we did was tip it on its rear wheel to empty out through air filter and layed it over with gas off to drain carb... i cant see it getting into the gearbox
