Got it stuck
Recently went riding in some pretty wet and muddy conditions. Im not that experienced with the maintnence of quads. went with a buddy of mine who thinks he is experienced and he was going through some deep water and I was avoiding it so i wouldnt get stuck or cause any damage and then he got stuck like 3 times had to pull him out and it was pretty easy to do so. after that I started getting more agressive and taking on bigger puddles (I guess u could say they where puddles) after about an hour and a half of riding we were heading back for a break and i went through a puddle I knew I shouldnt have and it didnt get stuck it was just moving pretty slow and he told me earlier to not let it stall out ... but it ended up stalling out then he pulled me out and it wouldnt fire up ... the water was up to the tail pipe but the tail pipe never went under ... my question is besides draining the oil changing the filter popping the plug and blowing it out checking the drainage areas is there anything else i should do to this bike for possible water damage that i havent already done the bike fires up and runs fine but like i said im not that experienced and dont want to do long term damage... any advice would be greatly appreciated sorry about the drawn out story

ok first off pull the spark plug out and turn the bike over with the starter while letting the water fly out of the cylinder. Pull the drainplug and drain the oil(probably flush it once or twice to make sure its good and clean).
Pull the transmission (belt housing) drain plug to let the water out of there.

Actually I think the wolvy is pretty tough to actually hydrolock it(I sunk mine and had to shoot water out of the cylinder already) No damage and I didnt even get any water inside the engine other than the cylinder. I have since broken it down and checked the rod when I did the 488 kit and the rod was fine and my cylinder looked great as well.
