Or plug the milking machine into the muffler . . .
The metal is always nude.
do you need tips or tricks to get the KLX to run or your part-timers to run,..'cause if it's the later, just go to TAD Waiouru and borrow a GPMG...good lot of machine-gun bullets will do the trick....

pick the bike up and shake it around a bit..
or drill a hole in the bottom for it to drain out of..
or take the pipe off and tip it out..
which ever you can't be arsed to do
Easy Biker
Stand it up on end and drain the water back out the muffler. If you can kick it over then its OK the cylinder hasn't got full of water and I presume the usual problem that kills dirt bikes won't apply and that is water soaked aircleaner which occurs when you drown them in a river and that usually leads to water in the carburettor.
So I'm guessing you have it easy if it turns over with no need to drain carb or strip anything else. If it won't go on kick (or electric) start then get someone to tow you with another bike and drop the clutch in about 2nd or 3rd gear and tow it until it goes because that will blow the remaining water out of the pipe.

Probably find the water in the muffler isn't the trouble, it'll be water in the leccy bits. Give it some time to dry, maybe help it with a rag all you can, it should come right. Has it got in around the spark plug perhaps?

This is easy. It just needs pushing a long long long way , in gear. A good many miles. Preferably, on a warm day. I'm sure you can find a suitable person to delegate that atsk to (on his own time of course)
Finding the inner self
CRC the fecker to bits. If that dosnt work at least it'll be nice & slippery & a cheap date!

Spark plug out CRC in. Turn it over a few times.Water out Plug in and it should go. This will work for the staff member as well.
The problem could well be wet electrics. It it will dry. Or CRC it I always leave them running when washing dem.
You are lucky to have time to be washing da bike. You could be here TB testing grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Mine does, came factory standard.
