Good day, need a bit of advice.  I crossed a low bridge that was a bit flooded after the weekend thunderstorms in Cederberge. Water was about knee high. Then after a kilometer or so, the bike just died, and wouldn't start after that.  After a few hours in the sun, still nothing and decided to strip the bike and open the airbox. (pictures added). Dried the filters, cleaned the airbox and on I went.

What did I do wrong ?  a bit fast through the water ? Just seems odd that it is that easy for the water to get in the intake.
