Didja fit it to a motorbike or a jetski? It'll be fine - just don't let water get above the level of the top of your airbox...
The airbox on my bike is like a big Swiss cheese and in the heaviest rain its been trouble free. 'cptr

Have had 2 XTX's both with stage 2 filters over 4 years & have never had a problem with water in the heaviest rain. You are good unless the filter is submerged in water, service it every 6 months you will be good.

Service ever 6 months gotcha on that, thanks. Ryland |

As long as the filters are oiled correctly you will be OK.
