Wildcat X in the water

I did find out in the process of riding around today (120 miles) that my 4 LOCK switch wont stay engaged. Any thoughts on this problem would be helpful. Maybe a fuse or a bad switch? Thanks.

Could it be a water issue.... Cool pics..

whos snorkel?

I use my boat for those situations.......

Made my own snorkel kit for about $50, from PVC and the stock rubber boot that came with the cat. Works well to, cause I was in deep water yesterday and the machine just kept going. Cleaned up the machine today and was a little water in the site glass of the air box (about half full) and none in the clutch. I think some of the water came from me spraying it off last night.

yea i need to snork mine bad first ride out and filled the airbox full and i died 4 oil changes later and the oil was clean again so i wanna adress that before it costs me a lot of money

I got pics of what I did if anyone is interested how I snorkeled mine. If ur interested let me know and I will post the pics I have of my process.

Got more pics of install (which I cant find for some reason) and will upload them with more info tonight on how and what I did.

Is the factory air box lid sealed up enough or did you seal it?

Seemed to be sealed good enough. The site cup at the bottom of the airbox was only 1/2 to 3/4 way full of water when inspecting and cleaning the next day and the airbox was clear. I think the water might have come from spraying the wildcat off at the end of the day. I didn't seal it myself but probably will before next outing with RTV or something else just for good measure. I did go thru the whole machine the day of the ride and filled every electrical plug full of dieletric grease. EVERY PLUG. Think I covered all the bases. LOL. Found the pics I was looking for and will transfer to computer tonight have on tomarrow.

Hey redx, pics look great. Please transfer the rest!

Nice ...

That is pretty amazing. So I assume all electronics, speedometer/odometer and clutch system are 100% water proof? In otherwords, when I go to spray off the Cat I can safely douse the dashboard with shorting out something?

Love that 2nd pic very cool
