2023 GT won't start after washing

[brad0walker]

My bike will not start after a wash, will not even turn over. Bike ran great on a 100 mile ride yesterday. Battery is good, fuel pump primes, and I hear a slight buzzing on the left side of the bike (after the pump is done). When I go to start, no click, or anything.

Tune ECU shows 3 error codes
P1640 roll over detection disabled
P1685 ems main relay
P16A1 IMU

I've checked all fuses and they look good.
Clutch switch is also good.

Let it dry for 24 hours and try again.

The late models has a micky mouse clutch lever switch and when you wash them they get knocked out of place
Repair switch.

The clutch switch is a POS. Still, seems it would start. Try kickstand up, in neural, with clutch in (all three). If not, waiting to dry out is next guess.

I can hear Tripps now, "Why the f*** do you wash your bike?" He has a point. Mine gets a sponge bath without a happy ending.

The manual says to wipe it down. Don't get water in anything, bags over exhaust...

it's not the getting wet
it is the rag knocking the switch out of position.

2.5 not starting after washing

Blown fuses after washing a bike always concerns me... What happens if you end up riding the bike in a heavy downpour???? Obviously the water allowed something to ground out blowing the fuse. Can the same happen while riding? I hear you on that. I had just gotten back from a 2000 mile to...

I definitely knew what you meant about the switch- I've done it. Wondering if not that then the kickstand switch (less likely). I've had mine throw an engine code while riding in the rain, then go away when the bike dried out (although I rode for several hours yesterday in heavy rain without that happening ). As @Dr.D said, it may be fine once dry.

I wash bike every 3 months or so with pressure, i make sure i use nozzle from bird view on top of bike.
I bought a small air compressor to dry out bike right after pressure wash especially wire connectors and stuff.

Never an issue in last 17 months.
