Towing the bike in the rain
« on: July 12, 2019, 06:07:08 AM »

Tomorrow I am off to the dealership with my SRF to get the screen replaced. It’s two states over and I am towing it on an open motorcycle trailer. It’s probably going to rain. I know the bike is technically fine to be in the rain but this is my first electric, so is there anything else like trying to cover it necessary?

I wouldn't cover it unless you want the tarp flapping against it. Should be fine uncovered.

I have ridden in the rain on my SR/F multiple times.  I would be much less concerned with water damage than flapping damage from the tarp.

You might have mentioned it and I missed it.  What happened to your screen?  Being so new, there is not much data to draw from so I am trying to stay up on all of the reports of issues.

I put the screen info in a separate thread about the first bug. Screen just quit working totally.

Appears to be referring to this thread: First bug on my SR/F
