P1000 Snorkle air intake

[john790]

For those of you that have added snorkles to your bike.I have a question did you do something to the ducting going to the engine the fittings mostly. I would like to seal mine better going under the bike. A bead of silcone or something like that.I dont plan on going swimming just for crossing a creek or a deep mud hole.I'll stand on the bank and watch you other guys.

Why, do have holes in yours?

No holes just conections.

No holes just conections.

Check how good the connections are by blocking the breather port, engine should shut off with in a few seconds. If it doesn't then I would go around and find the "leak".

I don't see the need for silicone or the likes if it's all nice and tight like it should be. I play in water often and I've never had an issue with my snorkel.......🤞🤞🤞

I have read where honda over tightened the clamps and collasped the piping.Plus blocking it off have not thought of that thanks

I brought mine strait up through the hood, and not had any issues. Also what @JenElio said about checking that intake hose by removing hood and air box cover. Start buggy and cover the hole with your hand, if it dyes there are no leaks and you should be good. I have been in water that was up to my knees as I sat in the buggy with no problems.
