im new here although ive been reading the forum for awhile… ok so ive done some research about the 570 shutting off while at idle when the exhaust is submerged. when i read that i thought it was weird because mine never did that. well sure enough the next day it did it three times. the issue i ran into is i only ride in 2wd until i need 4×4. well i found out the hard way that my 570 wont go into 4×4 if the rear tires are spinning. so every time i would let it idle down to engage 4×4 it would die on me. so to get to the point i did something about it today. So i have access to an exhaust pipe bender and i have a welder so i started cutting today. i took 2" exhaust pipe and made my snorkel out of that. i took a small piece of 2" exhaust and angle cut it. i took a 2" hole saw to the rear of the muffler and welded that in (some call it the exhaust mod and it is louder) for the old exhaust hole i went to the local hardware store an found a fender washer that would fit over it. then i found a nut that would fit into the center of the fender washer and a bolt ( i figured i could use it as a drain so when i sink my bike i can get the water out) i made it so the snorkel is removable because i dont normally want to ride with it on. if you have any questions feel free to ask away.
