I'd leave it in until June. Then take it off because the engine will run cooler. If the FI wiring gets wet all the time it makes for a nice mess.

Some plastics have electrical characeristics, I guess. I've never heard of that.
You might want to post that one over on the RL - there are some real rocket scientists over there. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) -L |

Chris, you probably charged it by rubbing it soo much. Lay off the rubbing dude.
