question about ford crossing

[Val]

Is there a reason to use 2nd not first? I haven't done any fording on the fazor but took my sr125 through so fairly deep flooded roads and went down to first and kept the revs high.

I think the 2nd will be more forgiving, if I keep 1st each underwater stone bump may transfer in wrist movement which will mean abrupt change of the speed and because the engine stopping power is huge in 1st that will mean a lot of laugh for you guys when I make the movie.

Not saying that 2nd gear will prevent that completely  :lol

Are you guys trying to make me drop my bike in the water?  :rollin :rollin :rollin
