Question Speaker static
When I finished washing my bike today letting it dry the radio came on by itself and the bike was off! I shut the radio off and it turned the bike on and off and it still stayed on in the acc mode for about five minutes, while it was in the off position, before shutting off like normal. Now I have static coming out of the right speaker when the bike is off. I have a sony radio with the biketronics kit. The radio was covered while washing the bike.

Any Ideas?

Sounds like water got in something.

Yeah That's what I was thinking. I'll see if it dries out overnight.

Check your headunit settings too. Some of the Sony's have a programable automatic shutoff after a desired time when the unit is turned off.
