March 30, 20242 yr I rode up a creek and my bike started choking on water and a week later before I went out for a ride lets look at the filter It was still wet and the bottom of the air box has a 1inch of water still in there why is there no drain
March 31, 20242 yr There is a drain flap at the bottom of the airbox, which can get caked up with mud etc and thus stops it draining. If you get a look at a parts diagram, it is part no 02014TR100.
March 31, 20242 yr The drain flap is a bit of rigid type of plastic, and it is not a tight seal ( a bit like a reed valve), so water usually flows out or seeps out. But caked on mud can make it seal closed. Best thing is to remove rear guard with the airbox and check your drain flap. Also, as in suggestion in your other post, it is wise to separate the airbox from the rear guard/fender and reseal as the factory needs to use a bit more sealant to stop ingress of mud and water flicked up from the rear wheel.
