Not sure if related, but had a strange post-wash experience myself a couple of
weeks ago, only difference is I use a hose with a light "shower" nozzle to
rinse, careful to not spray "sensitive" areas, har!  

Anyway, snapped the GPS into the cradle and had no power there.  Strange,
connections and fuse seemed to check out.  Rolled the bike out to fire it, and
after 2-3 failed starting attempts turned the key back off to ponder the
problem.  Seemed a little slow to crank too.  Tried once more, slow crank did
fire.  Once fired, power to GPS cradle appeared.  

No problem since, but no explanation either.  Wonder if we have something that
doesn't like getting wet.
