So after my exploratory solo mission a couple of days ago, a couple more of the guys (and gal) headed out with me today...
Went into some of the tracks a bit deeper this time, I wasnt too keen when i was on my own as there is heaps of crocs in the area we were riding.. and if i got eaten I wanted someone to be able to tell of my heroic tale about getting eaten by a crocodile lol.
Found heaps of good places, few of the tracks we a lot deeper than anticipated, but the grizz took it all in its stride... the can am and the other bike.. well not so much. Mind u, that canned ham usually breaks down every trip, and today it actually kept going all day (with the help of water dispersant). The Crossfire went ok, but kept getting water in its belt, then within a kilometer of being back at the car it broke a drive shaft (on flat ground!) and the fuel pump "profanity removed" itself.....
Had an absolute blast tho... !! Love the grizzly and I think I want to marry my Silverbacks

So what's the plan of attack when you come across a croc when you are going down one of these creeks?

Dunno about attack, but climbing trees and running on water kind of comes to mind.

Did you have any problems with water in CVT drives? I put my King Quad under water (accidentally) a few months back and lost nearly all drive in hi range until we could get the water out and dry the CVT case.

Tas. The grizzly has snorkels. But from factory the cvt exhaust and intake are up high. The red bike did have a bit of water trouble with the cvt. But not too much.
I like ur style yogie... Im taking a bag of mince next time.......
