My house flooded over the weekend so I'm currently in the middle of a $20k+ insurance claim. When the estimator was over and came into the garage to check everything he joked "sorry man we're going to have to write off the bike", it was funny at the time, however when I was out after dark last night I realized my headlights no longer work, both the high and low beam don't come on, and even when I switch on the high beam, not even the dash light indicator comes on (is that normal if it was just burnt out?)
So I've got a few questions:
1. Can excessive moisture/humidity cause electrical damage?
2. Can an industrial/high power dehumidifier running 24 hours * 3 days right beside the bike cause electrical damage?
3. Is the bulb just burnt out/What are the chances both bulbs burn at the exact same time when I never even use high beam (unless it's designed that way?) and would that cause the high beam indicator to not work as well?
And most importantly:
4. Is there any other damage/potential damage that can be caused by high moisture/humidity or an industrial dehumidifier that I should be aware of/checking for before my claim is closed?
Much appreciated.
Thanks,
Thomas
