in water? I need to know the possible damage as somebody has recently done this to my trike engine as an act of sabotage. and the rough cost of repair to a suzuki gs 750 would be welcome too.thank you.

if it's not started..syphon out engine wash it...replace with fuel...no damage...........if you have tried to start it.........do the same as above....but it may take a lot longer to ignite....don't forget to replace or dry out spark plug....

if water stayed in there a long time it's corroded.if not just blow away the water by cranking the engine with no plug on.

It's a total write off. You probably should just give me the motor bike and I'll dispose of it for you..

It all depends on how long the water was left in . If you get it out just in time no damage .Change the oil and it should be good to go. If left in for months ,you might have to take it apart and hone the cylinders to get them back in good condition.New rings and pistons might also be necessary
