Question There's water in my horn

I was riding in the rain the other day and got caught in a downpour..actually rode thru about 10 inches of standing water...didn't see THAT coming...any way the next morning after bike and I dried out my horn still had water in it and it sounds like a kids toy.

Does any one know of a good way to clear the water out ...should I hope it drys on its own or will I have to replace it?

Sdl R up,
Same thing happened to me last week. After a few days of sunshine, my horn has pretty much dried out and almost sounds normal again. Suspect yours will do the same.

That's wierd. I thought bikes were made to be ridden year 'round, rain or shine. seems odd that water would cause a problem. Altho Deep Water may be the culprit, or heavy rain. seems odd to me. Hope it dries out like T-birds, did.
