Triumph Street Triple R

(2018 Street Triple R HD2 TFT screen model)

So I decided to wash my bike today, and here in Auckland we have water restrictions so we can't use a hose. Anyways, I threw bucket loads of water onto the bike, and smartly enough I'm having a few issues.

So the bike is turned on, and the screen is flashing. I'm getting a 'main beam' fault. The key is not in the ignition, but the screen is turned on and it keeps flashing.

When I put the key in and turn it on, it all seems normal, but when I take the key out - the does not turn off and keeps giving a 'main beam' fault.

The screen was warm, so this would have been going on for a while so I have just disconnected the battery so that it does not chew that away. When doing so, I noticed water around the battery and some around the fuses...

My first thought is, yes, you idiot! Should have covered the electrical stuff!! AHHHHH!!!!!

I know... a noob mistake. But what can I do? please help!

This is the first issue I've encountered with my baby.

Thanks heaps!!

It's obvious you short circuited something by throwing the bucket of water on your bike,. Just let the water dry out by leaving your bike in the sun for a day to dry out. Do you have a hair dryer or heat gun? You can dry individual areas ot but DO'NT GET TOO CLOSE or you will char something. Pull the battery first.

Road bikes are'nt designed to go scuber diving.

If you have a compressor blow some air over it. Or a leaf blower in a pinch.
