are you sure it is not a loose connection letting air/water in some where else?
I have been through mud and water more than 10 cm deep when i forgot-i know i am a dickhead-that i didnt have the air funnel thing on, anyway no water got into the engine but there was a lot of mud splashing and marks INSIDE the air box, thankfully on the good side of the filter.
well on the weekend i saw a mate hit the puddle and nearly get bogged as he sunk so i hit it a little faster than him in his rutts and still sank and lost all momenteum. due to me going a little fast there was splah in the engine bay but not so much that it completely soaked the filter. lucky i had my k&n in my boot otherwise i would have been stuck in the middle of boat harbour with a dripping air filter.
i was actually gonna put the stocking over the pipe i extend to the back of the engine bay.
its just im so scared to do it agian, as you dont understand how much it sucked in on the weekend.
the whole airfilter was soaked like i put it under the tap.
so much that it caused me to stall with my back wheels still stuck the the mud/water
If you are thinking of just rerouting the standard intake - this guy plumped the trumpet back through the firewall to draw air from the cowl in front of the windscreen,
Have a K & N on a shortened intake above the dizzy, recently put an old cotton sock over the K&N to act as a precleaner, knotted the toe end so as not to flop around.
Verdict: keeps the dust from getting into the K&N (oil still clean) and protects from water splashes.
Cost: know idea, and old sox [img]graemlins/beerchug.gif[/img]
