Can't believe it stayed running.

Went riding today, here is a couple of pics of my brother in law in the creek with his 85 Big Red.
I thought for sure it would have drowned out on him, but no, it stayed going even with the water coming over the seat a few times.

Hello.New guy here.Those are great pictures .My dad and I had two 1984 BIG REDs.We used them in the Everglades and frequently had water over the seat.Don't know how they ever stayed running but I can never remember being stranded.Awesome bikes.

As long as the water wasn't over the breather tubes (which I believe are at the highest point on the frame, under the gas tank), he shouldn't have had a problem.

HAHA... that rocks...

I always liked that about the Big Reds... you can go though almost anything!

the factory snorkel is dam good on the big reds. puts the intake nice and high especially if you water wheelie some. I put a snorkel on mine above the factory and I've never once really needed it.

I have had to cross creeks that were so deep that i got off and my 200s was floating on top of the water. And the creek was about five feet deep, i found out they float like a boat.
