Creek Crossing + Hydro Locking a RZR - Can-Am Maverick Max RS 1000, Polaris RZR XP 1000, XP900, XP1K 

"Diesel is an oil not a gas" This is not true, they are both petroleum based products and both have lubrication properties. I will agree to never put gas in your oil though.

@@Ken-zd4pv True they are both petroleum products, but diesel behaves more as a lubricant than a solvent when compared to gasoline. Case in point go compare the ground around a diesel fuel pump to a gasoline fuel pump at a fuel station. You won't see any "oil" residue around the gas pumps from spilled gas like you see around all the diesel pumps from spilled diesel.

Just like the RZR XP 900 did in the first 5 seconds of the video or the RZR XP 1000 did in the last part of the video. Most of the time it's the drivers of the side by sides that make it look easily regardless of the brand.

Ya, we should have for sure, lol.

+Northern Adventures Thanks! We ride mostly in Southern Ontario, Canada.

+Northern Adventures Hey, thanks. We ride mostly in Southern Ontario, Canada.

Hey Brandon Hernandez, thanks for leaving a comment. Yes, if this RZR had snorkels this would have been prevented for sure.

+gravellesimon Hey, great question! Hydro locking is when an engine sucks in water through the intake and fills the cylinder with that water, either partially or fully. When the piston goes up and tries to compress the water then the fluid does not compress and it stops the engine. Hence the term Hydro-Lock. A hydro lock usually causes severe internal damage. Arguably, even if it is not a severe Hydro-Lock that engine is most likely never going to be the same. Often shortly after a Hydro-Lock an engine will begin to burn oil and blow blue smoke. In a severe situation, such as, high RPM and high load Hydro-Locking you can actually snap the connecting rod on the piston or even blow a hole in the block. There are many variables and no two situations are identical. This engine suffered serious internal damage. If you watch more of our videos pay attention to how much this RZR smokes. Amazingly it still runs great and has great power but it burns about 500-1000ml of oil on an all day ride. It needs to be rebuilt any ways so the owner has just chosen to see how long it holds together. Thanks for watching, check out some of the other videos. - AdrenalineJunkieProd

+AdrenalineJunkieProd thanks for the reply and great answer!. Much appreciated. I watch all of your videos so I've probably seen the smoke coming from it.

No problem, best way to learn is to ask a lot of questions. Thanks for all the support! Glad you enjoy the vids.

+gravellesimon From what the video shows, i think the dumb fuck in the first rzr thought it would be a good idea to turn it off while the exhaust was under water and fucked his motor

He turned it off because the intake went under water. If he hadn't of turned it off it would have been a much worse situation.

+MidnightPolaris800 Yea coming from a company that has over 30 recalls. Very smart thing to say dumb ass!

go back to hoing beets

Ya, mud is not their domain. The kind of mixed riding we do makes it hard to swap over to "mud" specific tire as they usually suck on anything hard packed. The big horns and similar tires don't do well in the thick stuff but all around they are a great tire. I am a big fan of the STI Black Diamonds, they are hard to beat for an "all-terrain"

That rzr that swamped didnt have Bighorns it had those junk bajacross tires on it. Be that as it may I still agree with you in the fact that it still needed mud tires.

Ever check out Zillas or ITP's Mayhems? very nice mix of a trail/mud tire
