Xt600E - River crossings - Bike stops
1 month of ownership into my XT600E and im loving it. She's not perfect, but is solid and hasn't caused me any major headaches.
Here's my questions, which I haven't been able to answer anywhere else.
Went for a ride the other day and did some river crossings. First was maybe a quarter up the wheel, no issues. Second one was about at the top of the front hub and the bike stopped mid river.
I re-started, gave it some throttle, traveled about a bike length, stopped again. Walked it out, started it, it stumbled but gave it some throttle and all good.
Here is what I cant work out. From what I can see, the water wasnt high enough to enter the airbox and no water came out of the exhaust. Why is it stopping? I was with a XT660 Tenere and a G650GS, and they had no issues.
From reading something online, the only thing I can think of is maybe water was getting on the spark plug? Could this be my issues? And how do you fix it? Silicone grease?
Appreciate any thoughts
