One of the things you should never do with a motorcycle or infact any thing of the powersport sort is powerwash with a power washer.
You should only use a garden hose at a low flow.
Not saying you in particular use a power washer but power washing can cause all kinds of grief as seals and switches can be damaged. Most of your controls on the motorcycle are not very water tight.
One of the things I always recommend is the use of dielectric grease, including in switches and behind dust boots when the unit is used in a very wet environment.
90% of motorcycle problems after a wash like power wash is handle bar controls getting wet.
