ok... so this is the problem...
when ever i ride through river crossings ie, taking the bike in deeper than the footpegs, kind of half way up the engine, the bike will stall half way through or just on the other side of the crossing.
the bike sucks water into the carb through the breathers... (splutters maddly then dies , then takes 5 or so minutes to restart, coughing and spluttering and disagreeing at the idea of working)
the water height never goes over the main air intake, and i checked the seal aound the plug.
this has happened several times and is something ive never really experienced before with other bikes,
i am surprised at the depth of the water that causes the bike to stall....ie, not much at all.
i hope this explanation helps...thanks guys..phil.
