Howdy, I wanted to share the quirky electrical stuff that's happening with my 2017 V9 Roamer: not every time, but on more than one occasion now, I turn on the bike with the key, pull in the clutch, and BOOM, the bike starts up without hitting the start switch. Anyone ever experience that at all? Part of the problem is my lack of indoor storage and that I live in British Columbia: very very wet! Im putting the bike in for servicing tomorrow. I don't want to have a mechanic chase down electrical issues, so Im hoping that a tune-up and some drier weather ahead will solve the issue. Im certainly interested in hearing about anyone else's electrical quirks though.
 
Possible moisture at the start button. Take a hair drier to it and some WD40. When I was down in the Florida Keys, I had the starter on my EV engage on it's own while going down the road. Had to stop and pull the starter relay. When I got home I disassembled the RH switch gear and used some WD40 to displace any moisture.
