And, as always, the solution was right here at hdforums.com.

Thanks again

 

someone remind me never to wash mine......

 

yep thats the noise my bike was making when corrosion built up on the relay from me washing my bike. Pulled the relays, cleaned off the corrision, blew out the area where it went in and coated relay prongs with dielectric grease. No more problems and now i do the battery cover by hand when i wash my bike.

 

Unfortunately electronics and H2o doesn't mix. [sm=badidea.gif]
Air intake and h2o doesn't mix.


When you wash the scoot you cover the above with something. Do not get your controls wet. Do not soak carbs, EFI, Connectors, Etc.........unless your running the flat track or hill climbing and have 2 inches of mud everywhere. There is no reason why you would have to soak any of the above including grips, switch housings, Head lamps, Turn signals, etc....

Ask me how I know!

 

ok i will bite, how do you know?

 

Finally, somebody asks how somebody knows.

 

wow when will people learn? hahah

dont wash your bike.

you can ride in the rain, but you cant hose it down.

 

Point taken

 

If I tell you Ill have to kill you.

Later, I have to wash the SG.

 

[&:] I do, and I've never had an issue.....Maybe HD only splurged on my scoot with the dielectric grease....
