It's a water dispersant spray.

Spraying it on & around your spark plug lead & electrical connections before you ride off in the wet, would be a precautionary thing to do....as this spray waterproofs the connections.(once water hits the sprayed area, it runs off)

If you hadn't done that beforehand, you could still use the spray later on after ya bike died & spray it on ya spark plug lead & connections.

On my dirt bikes, I have always had my spark plug leads cable tied where they connect to the joiners, to avoid this problem.

Craig, good advice.

I've purchased "WD-40" in Thailand before.

It's good to spray all "rust-able" nuts and bolts on your bike, as well.

Also, it works well as a cleaning agent, on adhesive smudges etc. (tacky adhesive smudges and gummy residue, left over from adhesive tape, or cleanup after removing "stickers" etc.)

OK, back to the floods. 55555
