If it doesn't go out after a while. Try removing the positive cable on the battery and see if that resets the light. Set the scooter in a sunny place all day to help dry everything out. If that does not work take it to a shop so they can put a code reader on it. Never use high pressure spry washing a Victory.
Engine light on after washing bike
Engine light came on after washing the bike. I've heard that it may be that a sensor got wet. Anyone have experience with this?

I didn't use high pressure, but I did use a garden hose with a spray nozzle. Definitely be more careful next time. Thanks!If it doesn't go out after a while.

Better not to wash them at all I reckon.
That's why God invented rain.
Try not to leave them out in the rain too long either though.

I wipe wash mine....bucket of soapy water, one wash rag, one wipe and dry rag.....then put the wax to her 8) no hose no spray....8) happy bike lol
That's basically the process with a "waterless" wash product. There are several on the market that came out because of water restrictions.

I wash mine at the car wash, I spray it with soapy water put never pull the trigger for high pressure. Then I rinse it with the spot free rinse and never pull the trigger for high pressure. Plus I stand back and never get in close. The only time I had and problems the scooter set outside in a bad storm at a rally. The next morning the cruise control didn't work on the way home. After about a hundred miles it started working and I have never had any problems again. I have ridden through a few bad rain storms and nothing went wrong.
One time sitting in rain overnight it didn't want to start. Push button nothing happen. Sat in rain many times though without incident before and after that one time.
Use a wash like ONR. It's old but works.
Used on my truck and bike for years.
This is a decent demo but I use microfiber to wash and dry. Haven't tried the sealant they have now.

only issue i've ever had on mine after a heavy rain my cruise took a vacation for a couple days...then just started to work.
The cruise and radio buttons really aren't waterproof. Not sure how to improve upon that without creating other problems.
Here be some old school advice.

Hey, I like mine looking like I’m going to a bike show while I’m riding. My kingpin is the dark gray metallic and turbo silver. The dark gray gets dusty sitting still. Dark colors drive me crazy, so ole Chug gets a bath about every two days. My dark blue metallic 67 Chevy ll SS got washed so much, I washed the paint off of her.🤷🏻♂️ That’s just me thiough.How clean do you want it?
