No but I have vaseline beside the bed. and the couch, and the tub. man, no wonder why i have problems with my wrists and elbows. GEESH. anyways, i would suggest the WD-40. Ask a crotchety ol biker with a grey beard and beer in his hand. he will tell you.

Ok wet bike here we go:

1. go get your OL's hair dryer and dry the fuse box, ignition switch, handlebar switches, connectors under seat,cpk sensor, trans speed sensor boot, plug wires & coils.
2. test ride.
3. If that didn't get it then go back to the fuse box and remove each fuse one at a time, dry the socket with dryer, clean contacts with steel wool and apply some permatex diaelectric grease to the contacts on each fuse.
4. test ride.
5. If that didn't get it then get some silicone spray for electronice and spray inside handlebar switches, ignition, plugs under seat, trans speed sensor switch, CPK sensor on the front by the oil filter, plug wires & coils.
6. test ride.

7.If that doesn't get it then get a leaf blower and go over the entire bike

test ride.

FWIW, I always dry my bike with my electric toro leaf blower after washing it. Buy a cheap one at Home Depot...works great.
