stozza Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Hi everybody, today I powered on my MSP and noticed a weird lights behaviour. It was not possible to switch on the front light, all the leds were off exception made for 3 of the 5 on the back, blinking. A couple of short videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cbcjg0q13Sg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smZgaelgH_s Tried switching it off and on a few times but it was always the same. After a few tries I decided to go out anyway and test it. It took something like 50 meters and then the front light started blinking. From that point on, the wheel behaves as expected. Any clue what that is? Cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Wood Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 (edited) I had this issue a couple of times after riding in damp weather, iv since found out the front leds can be supsectable to water ingress and since all the lights and leds are connected to the same circuit it can cause issues, iv now covered the front leds with reflective tape and never had a issue since Edited December 28, 2020 by Dave Wood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it's connected to water, I used the wheel the day before and it did not rain, it was ok. I came back home and it was working, left it overnight and switched it back on in the afternoon. Thanks for the advice tho, I may think about isolating the front light better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot. I guess I’ll have to find a way to better seal the lights... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any clue what that is? Cheers I had this same issue last night on my RS. All the lights were not working except for the 3 blinking blue dots in the back. I also tried restarting the wheel a few times and messing with the light settings, but no luck. About 15 seconds after I started riding anyway the lights came on. Would love to know what's up with that if anyone can chime in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawnei Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Just had the same issue with my MSP today, turned off the lights when I went into the store, when I came back out they wouldn't turn on, leds wasn't working and 3 blinking leds in the back, rode carefully and after a couple of hundred meters the lights came on. Been riding a lot in snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you share a picture how you covered them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah didn't do anything fancy just strips of reflective tape over the front leds and also the vents under the headlights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawnei Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Ah thanks, I',m thinking the vents below the lights might be the culprit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iv always covered the vents in rain and I still had the problem, I'm fairly sure it's the leds aswell although you definitely should cover the vents too in bad weather, Gotta remember your sometimes driving against the element's at considerable speed so the front of the machine is particularly vulnerable especially this time of year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saguaro Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 same here on brand new msp, but when i push antispin button suddenly lights will turn on, so water isn't case of this strange behavior 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazycarl Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 This just happened to my new rs19. Same thing as the original videos. It's a day old no rain 13 miles. Lights won't respond to anything. Or after riding. Any idea what to check? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
