    Hi All, I have had something happening a couple of times after heavy rain. As I am riding along my main beam will flash on and off randomly . I have come to the conclusion that this is water getting into the switch and momentarily making contact. It only happens if the lights are turned on and if I operate the pass switch repeatedly for several minutes it stops. My bike is a 900 sprint. As you can see from the pic I have a temporary fix while the bike is parked up but I could do with a better permanent solution. Thank you![​IMG]

    If you think it’s water getting into the switch unit, open it up and have a look. If there’s water in there then that would probably be the problem, dry it out, get some sealant/gasket type stuff, someone will recommend some, seal where cables come in and round the edges, don’t over tighten the screws and see how that goes. Don’t use pressure washers in those areas. Check the bulb holder isn’t rusty, give it a spray of wd40 or similar.
