Well,
Got back from Old Forge, NY on Saturday night, and got a chance to wash my new baby (Black team arctic std F5). Had to get all the trail grime off of her.
Anyways.... as I was rinsing her off, I gave her a good rinse down..... I didn't hose down the engine, but I sprayed the hood REALLY good.
I then proceeded to open the hood to let any water drain out, then dry.
I then wiped it down with a Chamois, and let air dry for 20 mins. I started her up to get any water off of the pipe, etc... and when I fired her up, the temp light came on. I figured, Well, some water got in somewhere and is shorting out something, no problem, put her by a heater over night, and went to wax her today, and started her up, still, the same light, AND NOW the LOW OIL LIGHT is on, with 3/4's of a tank of OIL in it...... I have two options, turn on the air compressor and blow out the computer box on top of the airbox, or blow out the gauge pod with air, maybe the water is screwin with the electronics?????
Can anybody help me out???

PS.... Raced a XC600, and a MXZ 700 and a 700 Yammy, got the 700's for a good 1/8th of a mile before they got me, the holeshot was INCREDIBLE, AWESOME SLED....
