I never sprayed water toward the intake like the manual said. I had alot of mud caked up under the bed to prove it. I never smoked my belt, ever, because of how I used low alot like the manual says. Pissed alot of people off, and even got hit in the ass a few times stopping to change gears. Took the cover off a few times to check everything and found a lot of dust and some dried up mud in there. If a person done more deep water crossings, mudholes, and sprayed water up under the bed more than I did, it may not hurt to do something with that intake location. That intake is in a place that water, dust, and mud can get to easier than a person can get to, or even see. I always wanted to do something with mine to keep dust out of the cvt and the engine because I was getting sick of cleaning out everything every month, and buying those expensive paper air filters and having to grease the airbox lid.
