Title: Will I have electrical problems?
Post by Tiefighterpilot on 06/15/10 at 22:36:20

I just removed the air box. Now I have wires and connectors sitting behind the battery box in the open. Will I have electrical problem if it gets wet?

It was getting wet before you removed the box it was just getting wet tucked neatly away.

If you wanna be a little anal about it, pull your connectors apart and squirt a little no-ox or dielectric grease in there before you reconnect. That will keep the water out and keep the contacts from corroding...

I'm a telecom guy, so I'm always working with electronics and electrical connections. Every time I pull a connector apart, it gets a dose of no-ox. Doesn't matter if it's on the bike, truck, batteries, multiplexer, inverter or whatever. Call it anal, I call it insurance!
