Keep water and mud out of it and oil in it...30 thousand miles easy in my opinion. Last year at Hatfield McCoy we hooked up with another group of AC's that were down there. One of the guys had an 06 650H1 with 42,000 miles on it and the other was a 400auto with 22,000 miles.

Don't think the mud or water needs to be over the headlights to get sucked in there. If you plan on riding water and mud, you should probably do some snorks so you don't end up like him.

Sounds like the dealer may be right? I agree with jd...its amazing how hard water can splash and just how far it will travel up into the intake.

It is a drain between the carb and air filter. If it cracks (and they do alot) it will suck dirt into engine and dust cylinder. I check this everytime I look at one and have kept cap in stock because of how many I find split or missing. TORK.

Keep air filter clean and out of the mud (the air filter) for a happy top end. Snorkels help everything. After having snorkels on mine I'd never have another quad without them. When your drown a quad...it is very hard on them. I also put grease around the edges of my air filter where it lays on the ledge, both sides and keep it well oiled. Also check your carb boots from time to time, the cleanest filter in the world won't help anything if the engine is pulling unfiltered air.
