Anyone experience this?
Within an hour of a 4 hour ride in a downpour of epic proportions, I looked down at the speedo and noticed the needle bouncing around between 20-30mph. I judged I was doing about 50mph at the time. I got kinda nervous about it thinking water had gotten into the works and wondered if other components would start to fail, i.e. the infamous short circuit in the light switch.
At about 2 1/2 hours into the trip, the speedo starts reading sporadically normal. A while later and she appears to be reading completely normal again. I couldn't compare it to the gps due to visibility issues (yes, the downpour continued throughout the entire trip), however, it seemed like it was reading accurately again.
Aside from what may have caused this condition, and why it didn't continue since the rain never stopped and my speed was fairly consistent throughout the trip... has anyone else experienced this condition? If so, is there a fix or is this another 'feature'?
Thoughts?
