Need some help from the knowledgeable.
Had the monster out today in the rain, She ran fine in the wet. Got to our destination ok although very wet.
But when it came time to leave the bike wouldn't start. As like last time it got washed and wouldn't start it powers up and everything cycles but the engine light comes on and wont kick over. ( i did notice the lack of sound of the fuel pump, not sure if this is because of immobiliser).All fuses are ok
I was at a garage for a show n shine so the owner let me use some tools and we went through the bike and used the air gun to dry everything and all connections.
The antenna ring under ignition housing was bone dry as was all the Ecu and air filter and box, but it still wouldn't Kick over. What do you think it could be? something is getting wet and causing the immobiliser to cut in and i cant figure out what it is. This is the second time this has happened. The first time this happened the bike came good after sitting for 3 days and drying out.

Check the connector at the back of the instrument cluster, unplug it and look at the pins.  I have seen these corrode and if the wrong pin loses contact the bike will not run due to the immobilizer. The dashes are not as water tight as they should be so it is possible the dash is the problem.
