As I was cleaning the Brute over the weekend I got to thinking there is not any mud/water protection under the front for the wiring harnesses. Matter of fact nothing really for the engine either. Anybody had any wiring problems from all the mud and water on the wiring under the front?? I have been having a little trouble with the instrument cluster(gas gauge doesn't work and mode button works only about half the time)and wondering if it could be caused from a bad connection due to water/mud corrosion....

 

i have put my biek threw some muddy sloppy sticky **** and still have no problems with any of my wiring, when i clean my bike a take the seat off and wash of all the electricals then blow it all of with my air compressor, it seems to get all the heavy **** out, about the gauge situation, i dont think it the water would really hurt it to much, everything on these bikes are about %80 water tight ive notice while workin on it, but i could be wrong

 

A touch of di-electric grease can be useful.

 

^^Yep!!, cake it in there good and eliminates most problems.^^

 

Nope. No wiring problem because of that. However, if your 750 is 06 or 05, check the rear BUS connector for corrosion (which has nothing to do with the water splashing under the front fender but has everything to do with natural electrolysis). That corrosion problem could affect your das instrument meter problem.

The front water splashing can and will enter into your air intake though. So, be careful.
