Hi I'm new to the site and need a bit of help
I recently bought a 2003 Sherco 200cc and today on my second outing whilst riding through what i thought was a shallow river i suddenly hit a deep part submerging my bike for around 40 seconds, needless to say the engine cut out. Once back on dry land i tried kicking it off and had no joy. After draining the Exhaust Air Filter and removing the Spark plug and kicking it over i thought we be able to fire it up again but no such luck
After a couple of hrs tinkering we managed to fire it up but when i applied more throttle is seemed to bog down as though it was starved of air or fuel and cut out
i removed the air filter and changed the fuel and and after a while iwe managed to get it running again but it still seemed starved of fuel or air. I managed to ride it back to the car which was about 1/4 mile away on low throttle and coughing and spluttering along.
I'm just after some ideas as to what i need to do now i.e what parts to strip down and where else they may be water trapped..
and the final big question HAVE I COMPLETLEY BUGGERED MY BIKE or will it be back to working order in no time????
Cheers Jimmy
