And here a not so successful swimming trip.

Water here is too deep and has probably got sucked into the variable transmission vent just beneath the nearside frount mud guard. Once water gets in, the transmission belt starts to slip and you loose traction. believe me i know :-) . A few cheap mods can sort this issue.

I am not really into deep water, it can ruin your engine if it gets in anywhere, I also do not have the time or facilities to strip an engine down, besides, I do not see any pleasure in it .

I think it cool as long as you gear youe quad up to it to some degree.

ATV's are designed to go swimming to a degree. Just got to know the limitations of your set up. The deepest ive been is just above the floor boards which compared to many isnt very deep at all.
