What Causes a Motorcycle to Lose Power After Wading Through Water?

[JasmineMarie]

Water entering the fuel tank or carburetor, or soaking the air filter, affects the quality of the air-fuel mixture. Below is relevant information about vehicle wading: Introduction to Vehicle Wading: Vehicle wading, as the name suggests, refers to driving a vehicle through low-lying, waterlogged roads. This typically occurs during rainy weather in low-lying areas where inadequate drainage leads to water accumulation. Precautions for Vehicle Wading: Before wading, observe the road conditions carefully; maintain steady power while in water; after wading, inspect the electrical system. If a vehicle stalls in water, the main cause is usually water entering the exhaust pipe, though in some cases, electrical damage may also occur. Once a vehicle stalls, do not attempt to restart it, as this may lead to water entering the intake manifold and damaging the valves, with severe cases potentially resulting in engine failure. Instead, the vehicle should be towed immediately to a 4S shop for professional handling.
