Water Wading Depth for Scooter Motorcycles?
1 Answers
Scooter motorcycles generally have a water wading depth below the height of the exhaust pipe outlet. At this height, water immersion poses no issues. Since water does not enter the engine and remains below the chassis height, you can generally start and ride the engine with confidence. Special reminders for wading: If slipping or spinning occurs while wading, immediately stop and turn off the engine. If the motorcycle wobbles side to side without moving forward, do not let the engine stall in the water. Solution for water entering the battery: It is recommended to visit a professional service station to re-measure the electrolyte specific gravity of the battery using a battery hydrometer. If the specific gravity is too low, drain the existing electrolyte, prepare a new electrolyte solution with the correct concentration as required, refill the battery, and then recharge it using a battery charger.
