Recon Brakes locked

hello, my wife’s 2014 recon front brakes are locked up tight. first here is some history, we rode about 50 mile trip on a beach in Galveston( I know salt and sand are not good for them) on our way back the tide came in and one of the crossings was deep about 6" above the top of the tires. we had no choice but to go though it. on way home like always we spray them good at the car wash. well it has been 2 months and found out last night it is locked up. where do I begin to fix it? what do you think is causing it? thanks

Honda TRX250 Recon How To Clean Gas Inlet Carb?

Hi guys my 06 recon 250 is having carb problems I bought a rebuild kit and changed everything but its not getting gas from the tank to the bowl. I clean it out best I could with carb cleaner and q-tips and also tried blowing air through it but no luck its stopped up. The lines was stopped up as well as the shut off valves but I was able to blast it free with some high psi of air but not working for the carb clogged. So my ? is i got it soaking in carb cleaner but if this doesn’t work then I’m going to have to get another carb which i seen them on ebay for 30 bucks not sure how good they work or anything but the rebuild kit coasted me more then the whole carb from Honda which there outrageous on there prices for parts! I should had waited on getting that kit in case i had to get another carb now I’m stuck with it.

gear position sensor

So I’m having trouble with my gear position sensor, it shows park, reverse and neutral. When I shift into low or high, the instrument light stays on neutral, and while I can ride in low or high range, the bike thinks it’s in neutral and doesn’t send power to the front wheels, as the sensor is telling the computer it’s in neutral. Going to buy a new sensor, but can I wire it so the bike thinks it’s in, say high range all the time. Don’t have a wiring diagram, but putting 2 wires together to make the computer think it’s in gear shouldn’t be hard, but what else will or could that effect? The gears still select manually, the sensor just isn’t working, even if it thinks it’s in high, how will that effect reversing. … I don’t know. …
