I lived a block and a half from the beach.

Switch failures on mine? 1998 side stand. 1999 rear brake switch. Turn signal switch in 2001, 2004, 2010 (Deleted in 11). Starter button in 98, 99, 01, 04, 08, 10 (Deleted in 10). Front brake switch hasn't worked right since mid-98, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't (Deleted in 11). Horn button 01, 04, 10 (Deleted in 11).

Let's see, other weather induced issues... fender rails rotten by 2001. Seat fell apart in 2001. Brake shoes delaminated from the backing plates several times. Rear fender rotted out around the bolts and wiring clips. Rear brake cable froze up, switched to spray grease, no problems since....

Mine is usually outside. In the barn now because it was either that or the burn pile.
