Default 2011 Streetglide speed sensor

My speedometer stops working and you can't keep the bike idling when it stops working. It does it after washing the bike so I'm assuming it getting moisture either in the switch or connection. Has anyone experienced this problem?

You will have to remove your battery to get to the connector. Clean the connector and place a dab of di-electric grease in the connector. If that doesn't correct it, then you will have to change it. Leak is where the wires go into the sensor. HTH

Thanks for the information. I'll definitely try this before replacing the sensor.
