riding a few trails with my g/f and she some rode the bike into the water and the bike was completly underwater for a good 20min if not more, my question is what do i do now that the bake has gone under water we cleaned out the spark plug and i check the oil for water and there was nothing, now the bike starts and when u give it gas the belt still doesnt want 2 catch(1day later)

thank you

even if you check the oil change it out and check to see if the tran oil has water but I'd change it out any ways as for the belt I cant tell you anything we submarined a grizzly 660 and it took a while to upright it and take it out of the water but after changing oil,spark plug and the tran oil it started right up but know even if the bike is cold right after start up it still lights up the water temp warning light but didnt have any problem with the gears it PS it would be helpful if some one here could help but post up the model of 4x4 maybe someone has had it happen and can help

 Pull the drain plug on the eiger I think it is a 10 MM socket on the right side ....

Tip the bike on the back rack to drain all the water out of the exhaust

Is the airbox full of water?
What color is the oil?

we already tipped it at holylands and checked the oil and pulled the plug, the plug had a little watter in there so we dried it out, i check the oil it wasnt milky or anything it seemed fine(im still gonna change the oil) after it started up it spit out a ton of water out the exhaust, today i took off the belt housing and cleaned out any water that was left over that didnt drain

im guessing aLL I NEED 2 do it change oil
