[QUOTE="Geezer, post: 1414878, member: 436"] If you guys don't want to ride your FJR through a puddle just because you are afraid of rinsing off some lubrication then you will miss out on some fun riding. Your choice. I have ridden through deep puddles on the FJR and on chain driven bikes and my only concern was to make sure the water could not get into the engine. If the final drive takes in some water then it is easy enough to change that oil when I get home. Anyway, the question was about traction control in the water. I have never owned a motorcycle with traction control, so I can't answer that. I do wonder if the road under the water was slimy with growth. If so, then the lack of grip and the pressure of the current against the back wheel and saddle bags might move it sideways without the traction control coming into play. [/QUOTE]
