Canterbury Trail Rides?

Bummer.

Pull every connection . Probably just water in fuel and airbox (guess you had filter removed).

Good luck.

it had 1 litre of water to 4 litres of fuel in the tank, in a bike with a conventional fuel tank we might have been able to drain the water off, with the 690 it'd be dark and I'd have hypothermia before we got it done

I was going to joke about you being hard on the gear. But I wouldn't want hypothermia either. I think you made the right choice.

Whereabouts were you? Yes, I can see you were in a river.......

So yesterdays ADV ride didn't go so well, made some poor choices and turned the 690 into a submarine, it went about 25+ metres underwater and lucky to get it back at all

It has been running as we undrowned it at the scene, it would start but I couldn't keep it running, so an obliging hunter dropped me and the bike at Ashvegas and Brent Gregan sorted me from there

I hope the bike is OK. How did you get it out of that much water?

South side of the Rangitata, we'd been up just short of Mistake flat and that was the last crossing on the way out, entirely my fault for making a series of poor decisions, reasonable good ride but a bit of boulder bashing and rough tracks

That was where it'd stopped floating downstream as the current got less, the guy with me took the pic just before he got it upright and then we both pushed it out

bike is stripped with fuel tank out, given all the plugs a blast of contact cleaner, I wasn't far off fitting a new pump and fuel filter this just accelerated the process


I'll take my Beta 300 next time
