So I was working on the front end of my 2002 FXD when I started to hear what sounded like water leaking. I look around and see a small pool of water in front of the back tire. This was a little confusing since a Harley shouldn't have a WATER leak! So I am thinking maybe I somehow cracked the battery. Nope not acid. Turns out the main wire harness was full of water and while I was fooling around I moved it and the water poured out of the other side of it. The Bike has been setting in the garage for a month with all that water in it.

 

When you wash your bike do you take the seat off, do you rinse with a jet stream of water? I have two Dynas and have never experienced that, I have ridden in some frog strangling rains.

 

No I just bought the bike before the weather turned crappy. Man it was pouring rain when I rode it home. I washed it once after I bought it with the seat on and not useing the high pressure. Who knows your harness could have been full of water and you wouldn't know it unless you messed with it.

 

Is the garage heated?
If not, do you occasionally heat it to work in the garage during the winter?
If so, maybe... the water came from condensation from the heating/cooling cycles.
