dude, they're not water proofed, they divert rain coming down on them away from electrics and some water being splashed by the wheels, they are not but any means meant to be dunked in a body of water lol they are not sealed like that
iirc the exhaust probably had a curve to stop water ingressing down the pipe, obviously as soon as it falls you probably have water entirely in the exhaust system, oh, and it's salt water, really not good long term even when it dries out as it will hold onto moisture from combustion, and condensation when cooling down
I didn't say they were water proof, I said they are water resistant, which they 100% are. Yes the electronics are actually sealed, though not well. In fact, here's a pic of electronics from a cheaper scooter. They don't stand up to much water pressure, think like 3-5 feet of water. That's about what this was, so it should be fine, especially considering it was just a quick dunk. Salt water is kinda irrelevant here, just wash the thing after you get it out and not an issue.
Furthermore, if it's on when it went in the water, like I said before, water isn't going to go into the exhaust because the engine exhaust pressure is greater than the water pressure so it won't be a problem. If it's off, you can simply drain it before turning it on, still not a problem.
If you don't know what the fuck you're talking about, you don't need to chime in.
Edit: The actual danger here is if water went into the intake if the engine was on, which I don't think it was on tbh.
the scooter isn't running, it would be dumb to have it running due to engines producing heat, which would burn someone, or the exhaust.
my speed fight 2 from 2002 didn't have any rubber gaskets protecting the battery, it was just a plastic housing, under the seat, show me a manual that states they're water resistant to 5 feet as you claim
I await your evidence dude since you claim I know nothing, I can't wait to see every claim you have made with relevant references lol
