Words to live by. A clean bike is a gay bike. 8) It wasn't designed to be washed. If you don't believe me, pull the upper right side panel and take a look at the "protective" boot over the wiring connectors. Look backwards to anyone?
Yea, I saw that protective "boot" and I'd say it is backwards, because if any moisture made its way into this area behind the upper right hand cowl, then it could create an electrical problem.
I rode through some rather moderate rain recently and my additional LED lights (self installed) remained on despite turning off the key and the on off switch for these LED'S.
I suspected that rain had entered the areas behind the right hand panels, however everything was dry. I traced my problem with the LED'S to a relay that I installed. Faulty relay, don't know, or possibly the way I wired them, but all worked flawlessly for 4 1/2 months of approximately 10,000 km. I replaced the relay and I carry a spare relay in the event this recurrs.
The only way I was able to remove power from the LED lights was to take a Jack knife and cut the wires which led to about 3 hours of labour (self-do).
