Kick starting a Yamaha WR426 in the water!

[TheKillgore521]

i hate it to kickstart my bike in wet conditions.

When i have my mx boots on and they're wet i always slip of my kickstarter :(

I dont get how the bike would be "water all inside the motor" , the air filter is above water and so is exhausts ..

@BIGGESTxxEMINEMxxFAN

but the crankcase breather tube is below the water. When the engine is turned over relatively slowly (like during starting) it can suck water up the tube on the up stroke of the engine. Some people reroute the hose to the air box because of this.

@paullschexnayder Thank you for letting my know.

I've recently bought a crf250 and saw that there was a connection to me airbox but there was no hose attached to it. It was also sealed with silicone.

Because of you i know it's for the breather hose TYVM :D
