Thats about all you can do

Open up the diffs and change the oil, change the bearings. You're electronics may be fried even after drying out. Change the glow plug. Dry the foam in the tires.

I wouldnt say you need to replace the bearings. Just like use some lube on them. like clean them with some dry ice or something..,(Its a lube not the Frozen C02)

open cases of electronics and put in a bag with some rice (will suck the moisture out of the stuff...just like putting it in a salt shaker)


The worst dirtbiker is always one step ahead of even the best quad rider....
Racing from a roll is like beating off, it may be fun but its not the real thing.

dry out the electronics then spray them down with a GOOD electronics cleaner, let that dry then do it again. With my boats and my trail truck Im always getting stuff wet. Its not the water that does the damage... its the minerals and impurities. Pure water doesnt conduct (yes I know that contradicts what they taught you in science class)

Ditch the failsafe. There crap. To get the moisture out of the electronics I would put them in the oven at like 150-200 degree's. Ive heard of that being done with great results.
