Flooded Bike.
By bike was flooded due to Hurricane sandy. It was totally submerged under water for a couple of days. Does anyone know how hard it would be to repair a bike that has been involved in flooding? It is a 2009 model with around 2500 miles on it.
It has been converted to a track bike and unfortunately I did not carry insurance. |

I would assume that water would be in most of the engine as salt water would cause more severe damage. Probably quite the project to repair.

I would start with making sure the electrical system was good... ck the fuses & replace the batt. Then if the water was up above the exhaust I would pull the head & make sure there is no water in the cylinders. change the oil & gas, clean the air box/replace filter. I would think as long as your electrical is still go you should run. I would also clean & lube all the electrical conecters, front & rear axles, swing arm pivot, and chain (replace if bad). Replace brake pads & I dont think you would have to but better safe then sorry bleed your brakes. Just do a real good once on it.

Thanks guys.
I think it will be a big project as well. But since I do not have any insurance, I want to try it rather than losing the bike. |

That sucks to hear man. Hope you are doing well with your recovery of everything else as well as your bike.
Good luck with the rebuild.
