Oh dear..............whatever about the mechanical side , the entire electronics are surely totally beyond redemption.
Do not get what is the problem, this bike got more washing then my bike ever did and ever will in 20h
Think if I couldnt claim ninsurance, I'd strip everything and learn how it works, clean it and put it back. Maybe have casings etc all cleaned. What is there to lose?!
Agreed on that, damage is done. What is surprising they all knew storm is coming. I think I would move to higher ground with cars, bikes and move garage stuff to top floor.
Drain the oil, then steam clean the bugger inside and out; allow to dry for a week with the filler caps and plugs all out; fit new battery; fill up with oil and petrol; go for a ride..... F the salt. AL
Didn't the Dunlops end up with their bikes sinking into the Irish Sea before the TT one year? I seem to recall they refit one of the bikes and it actually competed a lap of the circuit before clapping out. Obviously, you'd want your new Pani to last longer than 37 miles but still, it might be possible to rehabilitate, given time.
Poor guy :frown: Tells alot about the man that he wanted to get his bike sorted before the rest of the house. It that were mine, i'd claim on the insurance, then try buy it back and track bike it
Have you seen the pictures on page 2 of that thread? It looks as though the corrosion is already enough to cause it to dump its oil. I'd say it's FUBAR.
But bike was all way under water. Oil flats on top of water while engine is built to not loses thick oil not water. Water filled engine up and oil started gloating up including in to places it should not, then when water came down it started poring out taking some of the oil with it. Flood damaged cars do the same however if you remove all water from engine before starting it they do work.
