I've been ignoring it. I'm still using the Monster to get to work each day. Even when that means driving home in the dark, rain and wind. I just need a pair of waterproof pants/leg things which I keep meaning to buy but never do. I could do without the leaves, which seam to get plastered to my engine when it rains.
I will say that my monster has never missed a beat even in these wind-driven rain blasts we've been having. She sits outside all day in the rain and fires right up. I'm looking forward to pushing into December (and with any luck january as long as we don't get snow).
