Has anyone done this? I’m about to wash out my airbox (have a wash cover) !and would like to remove the seat and lightly spray also (battery wiring etc).
Before you all accuse me of being a complete idiot there are a multitude of electrical connectors behind the front number plate that get sprayed indirectly with no ill effects when we wash our KTM’s.
Anyone ever done this with good/bad outcome?

I use this on all my electrical connections.
Dielectric grease is electrically insulating and does not break down when high voltage is applied. It is often applied to electrical connectors, particularly those containing rubber gaskets, as a means of lubricating and sealing rubber portions of the connector without arcing.
I won't make a habit of this but it seemed to turn out ok.
Soap and a hose. I never power was my bike unless it was a real mudder which is very rare.
The only electrical issue I've ever had is the fact that the ground wire for the battery is held on by a bolt that also holds the rear fender on. That bolt came loose and was causing an intermittent no start issue. I wouldn't relate that to washing it at all tho.
