I had that happen to me years ago in CT, My old place was right up against long island sound and my pickup got flooded with salt water. That was not a good outcome   Logged     [img size=150][/img] Cooter Scooter 06 Roadstar   The administrator has disabled public write access. #420310 BatmansRoadstar (User) Ever danced with the devil in the pale moon light?

Didn't realize you got dumped so hard so fast, WOW Good luck with drying her out, I wouldn't know where to start if that was my bike   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #420320 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 14599 Re:My bike got flooded out today 1 Year, 8 Months ago   Brake out the leaf blower or barrow your neighbors. That will dry it out and then check all the fluids. I would drain the carb bowl and see if there is any water in the oil. These bikes are really tight so you may just luck out. Hate to see any bike in water like that.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #420323 Jona (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 4016 Re:My bike got flooded out today 1 Year, 8 Months ago   Curt wrote: Brake out the leaf blower or barrow your neighbors.

Be sure and go into the neighbor's garage when their not there and get the leaf blower, if you get caught with it, you can always blame Curt   Logged     Ride till ya get there, and, drink till she\'s cute   The administrator has disabled public write access. #420338 Tattooedmick (User) Just shut up and pour the Jamison.... Senior Boarder Posts: 241 Re:My bike got flooded out today 1 Year, 8 Months ago   Damn Man!!! When that storm blew through Vegas it was bad,... but NOTHING like that! Sorry Bro, but that's some of the craziest sh*t I've seen in a while. Hey Jona,... What about SEAFOAM!!!!!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #420374 Boatmark (User) Roadie fan, just blowin' down the road... Platinum Boarder Posts: 4092 Re:My bike got flooded out today 1 Year, 8 Months ago   Don't forget to pull all the lenses off the lights and W-D the crap out of the bulb sockets, the starter motor might need some attention, pull the sidecovers off and hit all the electrical bits in there as well. You get the idea. I hope all goes well! You might wanna use this stuff, it is awesome for electrical connections... http://corrosionxproducts.com/   Logged     Last Edit: 2011/09/16 14:39 By Boatmark.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #420380 Tusler (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 317 Re:My bike got flooded out today 1 Year, 8 Months ago   Yep, like they said change all the fluids and soak everything in WD40. It is based on fish oil and will displace all water it comes in contact with. If you are single I would park it in the house, turn up the heat and go somewhere else for a weekend. If you can not do that put some heaters in the garage and turn them up for the weekend and dry that puppy out I would also disconnect the battery while it is drying, current is not good when it is all wet. Hope it winds up ok without costing to much   Logged     Ask Jesus for Forgiveness before it is too late!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #420386 Pablo (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 161 Re:My bike got flooded out today 1 Year, 8 Months ago   Got the bike home and I've already started in with the wd40. I'm feeling better about it today. I looked at some other pics and it really doesnt look like the water got high enough to get in to the carbs. I'm due for a oil change, so I'm on my way to Walmart to get a filter and pic up some oil. Will check the brake fluid too. I hope to be riding by late tomorrow. Although I have a truck to drive, my bike is my primary transportation and I sure hate when it's out of commission. Makes me an irritable SOB. hey the blower idea is good...and I got one, so the neighbors and their daughters are safe for now. Some people drowned in that sh*t yesterday, so my soggy bike is nothing in comparison. It's all good. Got a good wash. Might make the Cottonwood AZ bike run yet!!   Logged     I would rather be riding my motorcycle thinking about God than sitting in church thinking about my motorcycle   The administrator has disabled public write access.
