XT550 Eletrical Gremlin......
Its old but its reliable EXCEPT when traversing water.
Any water I cross, if it gets over the rubber and touches metal my bike stats to blubber if the rpm is not high and feathering the clutch you will be pushing it out.
IT appears the ignition is going to ground through the water. Speed is not relevant, depth is not relevant. As long as the water floods over metal.
The bike has a battery eliminator, the rest of the electrical is stock.
