Ok so a few days ago I get caught in a friggin monsoon of rain on the way to work and things are fine when I park the bike. I get finished work I start the bike and blam the left turn signal/ parking lamp explodes and the bike goes completely dark (No juice to anything). I shut the key off let it sit for a minute or so and turn the key and I got juice the bike fires up no problem.
I replace the bulb, but the signal flashes very fast at first but goes away after turning the 4 ways on. The next day it rained again so I didn't take the bike but it was outside uncovered during the rain.
Tuesday I take the bike in for an oil change and there is no problem getting to the dealer but after they change the oil I go to start it and it turns over and all of a sudden without starting goes dark again. I shut the key off for a minute or so and it starts up no problem.
Wednesday no bike again because of rain so it sat again outside no cover.
Yesterday I fire the bike up with no problem pull out of the drive go up the street go to downshift and bike dies and goes dark, let it sit a minute or so while looking for maybe a bare wire or tryin to sniff around for burning smells. After the minute or so it fires up with no problem and I make it to work (turn signal is ok as well). After work I fire the bike up no problems and ride home, bike stays running and no dark issue but the left turn signal flashes fast again.
My question is, is this just moisture somewhere causing this? should I be looking for a bad wire in the left turn signal? Is this something else? If I can't find the problem should I just keep running the bike untill it won't start at all?
