Flooded my FJR

[McRuss]

Literally! A week ago thurs, I rode home from work 25 miles in 4 hours, roads closed due to flooding everywhere I turned. Finally water subsided somewhat and I was able to ride home by dodging trees and debris. Almost hit a frog as he was crossing the road headed to higher ground! I simply shut the bike off and drug my wet self into the house, left the next morning for a weeks vacation in a dryer state. This morning I went to fire up the Feejer for the commute to work and it would not start. I did a search and found the "wide open throttle, short bursts of starter" and sure enough, it finally fired. Wonder what got wet? I left the bike on the side stand and the fuel gauge was flashing but adding fuel didn't fix the problem. Any idea what happened and how to prevent it ? (I ride in floods more often than I'd like to!)

First thing I'd do is pull out the air filter and try to start it. I've had air filters clog up from getting wet.

Your engine "flooded" with fuel during your start up, not water.
