In this weeks Adventure Motorcycle riding technique tip we are explaining how to ride water crossings on your adventure or dual sport motorcycle. Riding water crossings can be difficult because you are not able to see what is underneath the water and that can make it difficult to control your adventure motorcycle. The correct body position on the motorcycle as well as clutch and throttle control can make a huge difference. Let our adventure motorcycle training instructor Daniel Sedlak give you his tips on how to ride water crossings and stay dry.

I really like your videos. Straight to the point, and you don't drag things out and ramble on. Keep up the great work!

[@vandoeunsot0168]

Yes, really amazing. I like it too.

[@vandoeunsot0168]

Amazing for your Adventure Motorcycle Water Crossing | ADV Riding Tip. I love your video. Thanks for your sharing.🥰

[@onerider808]

Great info, as always. What about fast, deep (2’ plus) water, on uneven rocky fords? Any tricks? I just stand, go (kinda slow but faster than easier, slow/shallow crossings), let the bike wobble if it wants, and encourage myself in French or laugh like a maniac.

[@Zerotys_ADV]

Thanks for the insight! Keep the videos coming!

[@SocalOffroadSchool]

Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@avothfis]

You guys rock. Your videos are clear and easy to understand and follow. These offroad techniques are easily transferable to and help regular riding too. Thank you so much

[@SocalOffroadSchool]

Thank You! I appreciate the support 👍🏻

I'm sure he's mostly right about keeping your eyes up ahead while crossing water, but you *do* need to glance just in front of you to monitor how deep the water is getting, otherwise you might end up too late to turn around.
If you think water over asphalt roads is amateur stuff not to worry about, you've never been to Florida during a heavy storm, or after a heavy storm on certain rural side roads, where the water can rise so high over the road that although you enter the water confidently, you're suddenly knee deep and praying it doesn't go deeper. And since Florida is such a motorcycle mecca, don't think you'll never need to remember that.

Awesome, keep em going.

[@SocalOffroadSchool]

Thanks, will do! 🙏🏼

I'm a local, and a fan, but you fail to mention the mechanical aspect of water crossings. How your bike's carb vent is positioned (if you have a carb!) makes all the difference. Different bikes have different set-ups for air-intake. Not to mention water at the level of your spark plug. I rode through some kinda-deep water today (Boulder Creek). A rare thing in SD.

[@soupysocksenduro]

really great video, well demonstrated! do you recommend to walk it first before riding through it? love the channel, just gained a new sub!

[@carlosmurgelcddr.1418]

Great tips, thanks! Cheers from Brazil.

[@SocalOffroadSchool]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@oscarparavicini3253]

I have always wondered if it is important to let the engine cool down before crossing water because it is well known that hot metals can crack when exposed to cold water. I'll appreciate if you could share your opinion about it.

[@fynn8252]

The engine itself will not be hot enough to crack. The exhaust headers run much hotter but they are generally made of steel, which is very strong. As long as you don't get water inside the exhaust, you will be fine.

[@Double_U083]

Never get a motorcycle wet, they’re like Gremlins

[@SocalOffroadSchool]

Like @fynn825 said, it’s not really an issue. You will have a lot of steam coming from the bike but the engine cases are not going to crack.

[@oscarparavicini3253]

@@fynn8252 Thank so much, next time I won't wait to cross water

[@californiaclassiccars3944]

I like your simple explanation.Tom😊

[@SocalOffroadSchool]

Thanks Tom.

[@stevehughes_5733]

"Because I hate wet feet" 😂 classic but true...

[@SocalOffroadSchool]

Hardest video I ever made 😂

[@zapster2412111]

Tip 1 use a Long Branch to check the depth of the sides and middle. If you can't figure the rest out you probably shouldn't be riding a motorcycle.

[@interstellarv0id]

Tip #1: find a detour

[@zachsheffield1325]

The video I watched right before this said to sit down!!?
