? about rain
Anybody have any electrical or guage cluster problem if it gets wet from a good rain? Will my blinkers and key ignition be OK? It's about to rain bigtime here at work and it's never been wet. Don't want to call the wife to pick me up if it don't start.

mine rides in the rain fine, but dont attempt to use the alarm until things dry out... it may seem fine but it probably will go crazy in a while...

I left my bike out and it rained on it all night, No problems..Just a little rust where the paint was scratched.

I got lucky and the storm missed us sot she's still dry. Thanks for the piece of mind anyway.
Jim, alarm? What alarm? I have to yell "HEY, STOP"....thats my alarm. I wouldn't mind having an alarm. Where does it hook up? I might keep an eye on ebay.

I just found the steering lock on mine. I may use it if I have to park in risky places.
At work It is locked in a compound behind security fences with cameras. Allen

No alarm on the American Lifan GY-5's. Some Lifan bikes have 'em, some don't. No GY-5 I've had in stock had any.
Maybe you got lucky Jim, They had an extra
