code number 65 knock sensor

[farmerschiferl]

dropped my phazer threw some thin ice last night on the trail so the it sat up to the middle of the primary clutch in water..... got it out and had it sit in our heated shop all night to thaw and drain water out... but anyways i went out for a short mile ride a little bit ago and i get it over half throtal and my engine light was flashing. i got code number 65 which is the knock sensor. So is it of any importance or should i go out for a longer ride and c wt happens

Knock Sensor error means lower octane gas and ECU retards timing to protect engine from spark knocking. Check fuel quality may also be ethanol issue in the fuel.

Did you do anything to the sled after you went through the ice? Like change the fluids.

sounds like water in the gas to me. run some gas treatment in it or empty the tank... I run Isoheat every other tank.
