l-mod and water

[S Mumford]

 Non-issue. I've submarined my KLR with an open airbox and it fared the same as when it was stock, which is to say it ran fine in both conditions. That said, I'm not convinced the L-mod is necessary. Tune your carb properly rather than cutting your airbox. Thanks CA Stu

TK, I have been reticent to L-Mod as I have been concerned about water intrusion during deep water crossings.  Now, having said that, I avoid deep water crossings like old cowboys avoid baths, but occasionally, even they get more water then they intended. How does the L-Mod affect/protect the bike from water intrusion; your thoughts/data on the L-mod in realtionship to standing stream water as well as heavy rains.  I have a tendency to get rained on often and don't want to loose watertight integrity. revmaaatin.
