I tipped my bike in a creek the other day. I emptied the gas out of my carburetor. Should I drain all of my gas out of my tank through the carburetor tube? Thanks
For me it turns milky like a latte. If it sits and separates maybe it could look silver? Definitely change the oil right away. Shouldn't damage the engine. It's fairly small amounts of water. I think roller bearings are an advantage. I hate to think what water would do to plain bearings
My ktm has a auto and manual decompression. The manual decomp has a lever. If i do hydrolock my bike could i just pull the lever instead? Btw its a 2003 ktm 450 exc
I'm not sure. You'd have to be really careful because if the water doesn't come out the exhaust valve, you'll be forcing it by the rings. In my experience, the exhaust is what gives you issues because you clear cylinder and then it just runs back in from the exhaust.
Did that work? Bruh I got a kx250 2022 flooded it yesterday in a mud hole but I don't have kick start mine all electric any chance anyone know what all I need to check?
If it was fully submerged you have most likely fried the ECU as they are defo not waterproof and wont work or even break if wet. Maybe change the oil check the fuel and drain the cylinder and the exhaust, dry the airfilter. And maybe dry out all the electronics. If it wont start you either have no spark, broken ECU or water still in the engine. Sorry if it is or was the ECU as not sure how expensive they are. Thats why i prefer older bikes
@@alexcrafter_ yea thx for this idk anything bout bikes the thing is still in the shed wont start lmfaooo once i get a job ig ima start buying stuff for it
Before you start buying stuff, you need to check it step by step. Pull the spark plug and roll it down hill in second gear and clear the water. Check the fuses. Make sure the exhaust and intake are clear of water. Once you know there is no water in it, see if the engine will turn over with electric start. Check spark. The ECU would be the last thing to check. Basically eliminate everything else
It’s such a simple solution I really wouldn’t have thought of. Now I’ll carry a spark plug wrench. So easy on a 2 stroke. Probably makes sense to change the oil after getting water in there since 2 strokes just let stuff into the trans pretty easy.

It’s a creek for me
Favorite RUclips vid on any dirt bikes stuff keep it coming!
Thanks mate, very useful video.
Great tutorial
I’m watching this my brother sunk his bike 😂
1:53 What if your bike has no kick start? Only electric
Same thing. Pull your spark plug. Turn off the fuel. And let it crank.
Very informative thanks sir

Most tanks are sealed, so you shouldn't have water in it. Just the carburetor bowl.
Have you ever seen the oil turn silver after ingesting water?

First Mistake.........never ride alone.
My bike got flooded and I tried kickstarting it and made a bubbling noise and idk if that good

Yeah, I won’t go in the riverbed without a spark plug socket.
