you mean how high of water?
under the airbox forsure, but i wouldnt take it past the motor, might get water in the tranny, might have a slight leak in the intake system that will suck water in or who no's

Okay thanks I was going to try this big mud hole out in front of my cabin I went a little ways in and it was allready up past my bumper.
my personal opinion is to stay out of the mud and water as much as possible, i used to do that stuff, till my rear axle bearings locked up and ruined my housing, cost me a couple hundred to fix it, all from a little thrill of doing a mudhole, mud will get into your bearings and bushings,thats like adding sand to the grease when you lube it, and power washing it just drives it in further, all bad news eventually
sounds like you need to sell your blaster to someone who will love it, and put new berrings in it, and keep it outta the mud, if you wanna mud by a 4x4 utility quad
No the bearings went when we were up north and we are just going to let it go until the fall and, no I ain't going to sell my blasty its my baby. Where I ride the mud is in the middle of the trail I was just asking because I wanted to try that mudhole just for sh*ts and gigs.
go for it, if everything has good seals then you should have no problems (other then your already worn out bearing) then hose her down when your done..I:I
Don't forget about your crankcase vent tube. Route that thing up a bit higher if it's hanging low, otherwise bad things happen. When your hot motor suddenly cools a little from the water, that pressure drop in your case will suck anything up though that tube like a straw. Same concept as routing differential breathers up higher on a truck.
I've gone into sparkling clean river water with mine, but I don't think I'd want gritty mud working it's way into every little thing. Especially if you've got drum brakes.

I never knew that there was a crank case breathing tube that would explain why sometimes my oil was a little milky. Okay thank you next week I will remember to raise the tube up a little.
