I guess I have been lucky so far 53,000 + miles and original key and wiring with the exception of the wiring mods that came with the update kit. I don't think it has anything to do with the head lights as they are no brighter then before. Oh well cross my fingers as when it goes I am going keyless like others have on this site.

I had a similar problem after heavy rain. Engine management light and oil light on with out the ignition key. I have even had the analogue clock hands spinning backwards like a windmill. I have even had this idiot light problem when riding in torrential rain. It is water getting where it shouldn't. I regularly lift the tank and spray the wiring loom and ignition switch with WD40 or some other water repellent electrically safe spray. It has sorted it. I still mean to pull all the block connectors on the loom and grease them but that's another day.

See, now this is the kinda stuff that makes a worrier like me all paranoid. Trying to stay convinced to take the Rocket touring this time instead of my ZAUAV (Zombie Apocalypse Urban Assault Vehicle, otherwise known as DR650) and I read about Rockets that won't start when it rains or won't start 'cause it's "too cooold" or whatever.

Ridden many times in the rain... never had it affect my R3...I have heard those Bolt on option clocks on the Rocket are weather susceptable tho...I use a Formotion clock.. no issues.
