Hi guys,
I went for a ride last night on my Derbi Senda Xtreme 50R and it rained while I was out. I parked my bike up in the shed at about 11:30pm and left it for the night.

Anyway went to start it this morning and no numbers/letters came up on the display. I had college so I rode the majority of the way without the electronic display and as I got to college, the display suddenly kicked into life and displayed revs/speed/time.

Anyway just ridden home and some strange stuff has been going on. Attached is a picture of my display once parked up (I revved the bike to get this

https://s16.postimage.org/fplkli8yb/270543_3692191912668_1400301567_n.jpg

Basically, The speedo is obviously wrong (considering its a restricted 50cc). The warning lights are engine temp & oil warning and the bottom blue light is high beam (partially glowing even without lights on). Fuel warning light is also illuminated.

Any idea wtf is wrong with my Senda? Shocked
Thanks guys Smile[/img]

Water in the electrics...
WD40 or ACF50

Where abouts? Should I unscrew the clocks off the bike and dry it out?

Any plastic block connectors will be the prime suspect.
Best to pull them apart if you can (note the catch thing).
Often water will run out.
WD40 or similar will be better than heating it usually.

If they come off easily enough then it wouldn't be a bad idea...
