If a motorcycle gets flooded, it will affect the engine. Parts of a motorcycle prone to water damage: When a motorcycle is ridden through water, the main components that are susceptible to water ingress are the fuel supply system and the electrical control system. Other parts that may be affected include the engine, ignition system, generator, and fuel tank. The fuel supply system, which can be infiltrated by water, includes the carburetor and air filter. Main symptoms of a flooded motorcycle: When the vehicle is running normally, its speed may suddenly drop significantly, accompanied by a noticeable jerking sensation. Subsequently, the engine may stall on its own. This indicates that the electrical control system has been compromised by water.
