Is it okay if the motorcycle didn't stall when wading through water?

Water depth should not submerge the intake pipe. If it exceeds the intake pipe, water may enter the cylinder through the intake tract. In mild cases, it will affect the engine's lifespan, while severe cases may cause engine seizure and total failure. Here are relevant explanations: 1. Engine will inevitably stall after water ingress: Since water entering the cylinder lacks lubricating properties, blindly restarting after stalling may lead to engine seizure due to cylinder scoring. 2. Check all vehicle fluid systems: To prevent foaming or turbidity caused by water contamination that could degrade oil quality and lose lubricating properties. Additionally, water may carry sand particles causing excessive engine wear, requiring prompt cleaning and replacement.
