hi, I own a Chinese ruckus clone and
the wire harnesses in the front are vulnerable to water or rain.
is there anyway I can waterproof the wire harnesses?

you can use silicone put some on your finger tip and push it into the connector around the wires

I did that for my fusebox connections, not to really waterproof them as such, but (as they hang straight down from the box) to keep them from being shook loose due to vibration or passing over slight road obstacles. |

Dielectric grease from any automotive store, the electrical isle at Home Depot/Lowes and if not there in the irrigation controls isle.

corrosion X is for waterproofing electronics?
It seems like rust preventing or rust removing material not a water proofing.

That what I figured, and it's also used in boating and other marine applications. (A lot tougher environment than the average scooter has to face) |
