New guy with Blaster question.

[PureXTC]

Whats up everyone I am from Western NY.

04 Blaster
Mudder rear tires
Full armor

Yesterday i sank my 04 Blaster into about 4 feet of water. It sucked in water through the exhaust. I pulled the plug. Kicked it a few times and quite a bit of water came out. Is there anything else I should do before I attempt to start it besides new plug?

yes
drail you tranny oil, replace that, pull the head off and inspect things.
drain the carb. put new gas in the tank, have the blaster on end to so it drains out.

yea there is quite a bit more you need to do. you need to make sure there is no more water inside your motor. if there is and you try and start it you will have more problems. like specialized7 said. drain and change your oil, pill your carb and make sure there is no water in it. and if you have the know how pull that top end off and check and see if there is damage. if you kicked it over there is a chance you scratched you cylinders.

ya very good chance, if you filled you exhaust with water, then you intake was definatly under water so all of that is probably wet, best bet would be to pull the top end off and set the bike upside down and let it drain haha, if your runing oil injection make sure no water got in there.

Maybe I over exaggerated when I said 4 feet. There is no water in the airbox.

doesnt mean it didnt get in. water in a motor is nothing to play around with. definatly take the precautions and check it out. or you can be paying to get it fixed.
