2014 EC250R broken head :( Cause Unknown

[blamir]

Gasgas was only at 15 hours. Brand new and flawless.

We passed from a bit deep water then my friend's gasgas stopped. I said plug fouled and need to clean or change. Carburetour was at factory settings. Every gasgas fouls plug if you ride it a bit slow and non performance. You have to listen Jakobi about carb settings

We started pull bike with rope. We were near the service. My friend often tryied tryied and tryied to start bike with bump start but no ignition. Just heard a blooppppp sound and the result.

Why it can be ? Becouse of into water? immediately after bump start?

Hydraulics. You can't compress H2O!

I know this dude. I am not sure water entered the engine from air filter . Can we fill cylnder with fuel, if we try long bump start? then it brokes head too?

I bet you won't do that again..

We had that problem, but it was a broken rod. Drove the piston into and almost through the head.

For future reference it's likely best to remove the plug and try to stroke the engine over by hand, and turn the whole thing upside down if need be.

Additionally there is a drain plug for the crankcase that can be used to drain the bottom end, but in most instances you would need to drop the skidplate to access it.

There's really only two ways for water to get in - either through the carb or through the exhaust pipe. If the pipe wasn't underwater for a significant period of time, it had to come through the airbox.

This! I'm all too familiar with swimming.

Its so quick and easy to pull the plug on the gassers its worth while doing. Before that though. If possible drowning occurs refrain from pressing the button or kicking hard. Cycle the engine to check for additional resistance/hydraulic locking. If felt, as above. Drain cases, pipe, carb, airbox. Standard dewatering 101.

...or pay the price!

I'm pretty sure there's a cylinder head available in the Parts category of the Classifieds.

That cylinder was full of water. You can still see the remnants of water on top of the piston
