Hey guys, just curious as the trails where I ride are putting soggy right now, what depth of water you're all comfortable driving through?

This is assuming no air box relocation, snorkles, etc.

Factory machine.. What is the max safe water crossing depth?

Thanks

With that body style you are usually safe to about the base of the seat if all is correct and tight. At that point the CVT air discharge will be in water but not enough to be a problem as long as you don't stop in it. Now that doesn't mean things like the main fuse and other electrical connections that will be well under water won't have a problem...no guarantees with Chinese parts.

Manual says, "OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Shallow Water Crossing
Water can be a unique hazard. If it is too deep the vehicle may “float” and topple. Check the water depth
and current before you attempt to cross any water. Water depth should not exceed 23.6 in. (60 cm) to safely
cross the obstacle.
Beware of slippery surfaces such as rocks, grass, logs, etc., both in the water and on its banks. A loss of
traction may occur. Do not attempt to enter the water at high speed. Water will affect the braking ability of
your vehicle. Make sure you dry the brakes by applying them several times while driving slowly after the
vehicle leaves the water.
What to do if vehicle is submerged
If the vehicle becomes immersed, it will be necessary to have it transported to your dealer as soon as
possible. Do not attempt to re-start the engine, as water may have been ingested into the cylinders, which
can cause internal damage.
