I came acrossed this pic today. http://community.webshots.com/photo/36227196/36229698mJUnqO. Now I have never seen a 185 in action but I would have to say this kid has alot of faith in his. I thought I would post this pic because I havent even had any of my machines in mud or water that high. It surprised me. Ok i took a closer look at this Atc and I think its a 200 big red.

id take mine through it ...its probly mostly water and hes gettin traction on the bottom..it dont look like mud to me..yea its deep ..see the front tire floatin? lol gotta love it...i took mine through some water about that deap and didnt get stuck..i think thats when my stator when bad cause after i got outa the water it started backfiring and stuff real bad..*that was the first time the stator went) when i had to be pulled home..out of the woods by a quad!!! i hated that day..a suzuki ltz 250 pullin me out..thats ok i got him some payback about 3 weeks ago..i pulled him outa a swamp..lol

wow! lol thats awesome, no kidding he is very faithful to his unit, I would to try and take my R over that mud lol. Serious power in the red,

[Dammit!]

I had the engine of my 200x completely submerged once. I had done a few water proofing tricks to it that I got out of a Dirtwheels magazine though. The air intake at the front of the frame was still above water.

Its a 1984 200s

Ive had my motor partially submerged before, unless the starter motor goes under with the rest you are ok.

i took mine under the pullstarter..not good when u have no cap over the timing cover tho..thats how my stator burnt up the first time...and that case breather hose was under water instead of being in the airbox like it should be..had some nasty oil so its kinda a good thing that the stator went out..if i had kept ridin it that woulda been bad

I've had mine WAY deeper than that plenty of times. I even had the headlight on my 82 ATC200 underwater, you could see the beam of light shining under water. It was in a rock bottom creek so there was no chance of getting stuck.

I just couldnt do it. No Way. I grew up down there and saw plenty of it. Maybe when I was young, and dad was footing the bill for repairs. LOL

me too...its fun =D i just used my stocker knobies and went through the river and a hellovallta mud....make a bunch of big bears and grizzles look like powerwheels in the mud lol :D :TrikesOwn :w00t:

[crackshot]

I had my 185s in mud/water above recoil starter handle pretty close to carb.
Thats why I am debating rather to drill holes in the air box cover or not.

[a-camp]

I guess you could do that on your buddies bike if you ran out of sand

[83185s]

dont drill holes in the airbox cover..never do that..take it off if u want more power but put it on when trailprotrailpro goin through mud..seriously its like the worst thing u could do

[ClayW]

There are more things to worry about than the air box. Water in the bearings, in the case, get the stator wet, all kinda problems that I wouldnt like to have to deal with. If you have a differential, water in it. You would be suprised. The local Honda dealer says they get at least on bike in a week, that has been submerged in some way shape or form. They all have major internal engine problems. Corrodes the wires and everything.

Sunday I'm goin boggin so I'll se how deep I can get :)

[Yamahammer490]

When I was young and foolish I had mine that deep plenty of times. I vividly remember looking back and seeing my exhaust bubbling up and hoping the water didn't get any deeper. My dad used to yell at me that Yamaha didn't make submarines.

ohh, so i shouldnt take my warrior through 3 feet of mud and water?

aww shucks, sendin back the mudlites :D

i have rear bearings on hand, in the summer, if its a wet summer, i will just mud bog, the entire time, and every month i do rear bearings
