Just revisiting this...lol
I'm curious what shape was bike in after this?
Motor alright, just curious.
I can't speak to Brains KLR but I think you'd be surprised to know what type of water abuse machines can take and still be fine. When I was in high school I worked for a commercial lawn service and long story short, I ended up putting one of our 60" zero turns upside-down in a lake, fully submerged, for probably a couple hours before we were able to get it out. We took the mower to the dealer and all they had to do was let it dry off, change all the fluids and he rebuilt the carbs "just in case." This was over 11 years ago and they're still using that machine. I don't know how many hours it has on it now, but it was well used at the time it went swimming. It was running WOT blades engaged when it went under, so I know it sucked water through the intake before stalling. It still amazes me it didn't hydro lock and bend a rod.
