WET LEFT FOOT!!!

jd440 · Dec 31, 2010

hey guys and gals, ive got an 04 rev summit 800 and everytime i ride i end up with a sopping wet left foot. right one is as dry as when i put on my socks in the morning. I figure its from the snow melting on top of the clutch cover and drippin down on boots. I know there have been several posts about this on the site but they all talk about the boots. Just wondering if there was any way to shed the water somewhere else or if any one has solved this issue in some way shape or form.

Any input is great...
Thanks in advance!

Venting and buy some BRP boots. That way you can take em back and get warranty! haha
Lots of venting and some quality Klim or HMK boots. I went with the GTX last season and haven't had a wet foot since.

that would be your clutch getting a little too warm from the lack of venting... been down that road when i first got my rev

The new HMK Voyager boot is extremely dry as well. My Boa's(Team boot) and early run GTX from Klim leak.

Thanks for the input but i dont have the money for new boots or vents right now. And I was wondering if someone has done some fabrication or something to shed the water somewhere else. I know new boots would help but thats not the solution im looking for.
Thanks again.

try adding a gaitor over your boot on that side? Should be able to buy an inexpensive pair for 20$ and solve your problem.

Although if your boots are getting wet....no matter the situation..they probably need to be replaced. Ultimately your just putting a band aid on the problem

This is only their 2nd season and last year they were only worn maybe 5 times cuz the sled was down.

which boots? I have walked ankle deep in creeks and remained bone dry. (klim)

Do your pants have gaiters? I have actually seen people tuck the gaitor inside their boot...this just allows snow/water to run into the boot?

venting doesn't have to cost you anything but 5 bucks in material, some glue, and your time. Go to a fabric store or steal a pair of the old lady's stockings. Take a drill and start venting.

How does wearing lady's stockings address the venting!

Don't knock it till you've tried it! LOL

Get some hot glue and pet screen material from the hardware store.
Do some searching on home made vents and also try Dootalk....TONS of threads out there.
Here's what I did.

SLP cold air vents are the way to go. I don't ride with my feet in the foot wells, no problems with wet boots.

wet left boot

just had the problem with left boot getting wet too. have had 3 different rev's first time with this issue. like the one guy said, usually don't keep feet down there, but was out last night in really deep powder and was sitting down more than usual b/c of the cold. does anybody have pictures of their venting on the clutch side and is it venting for the water to run out or for cooling the clutches
