Default weak horn

I've seen a few posts concerning weak horns. I found my problem! I posted this on the touring forum but thought I'd post it here also.

I had the weak horn syndrome also and fidgeted with it a bit but it stayed weak so I was going to have the dealer look at it next time I had it in. Well today I NEEDED the horn and of course it sounded like a half screwed... ah.. half baked horn so when I got home I took the nut off to check it out and turned it upside down and WATER poured out of it. I hit the key and horn button and it's back to normal. A few weeks ago I rode 150 miles in a torrential rainstorm and obviously it got into the horn..
Just something to check for you half horned guys!

Mine had a liter of water inside. But never returned to the original sound!

Yea, I learned that myself last August. Wonder how many riders buy new horns when it's just water in them.
