I rode the XB12SS to and from work this morn and it is kinda coldish (40 or so) as well as raining. I noticed there is condensation in the air box. How bad is this if at all? Did I just void my warrenty at 167 miles?

Any motorcycle company that would void the warranty from riding in the rain should be run out of business and then strung up from the nearest tree! I would say you are still fine, mop up the water if you are really concerned but I would just ride it when it is warmer to dry it out.

the warranty thing was tongue in cheek. I'm just wondering if this could encourage mold later, or freeze up in the cold and cause a problem.
I would guess that Buell looked into all this, but it is my first new vehicle and I am all a flustered : )

It becomes a problem once the rubbers get old and cracked and moisture gets into electricals.

You're years away from that happening.

Look for the rain thread.

Seriously, come ride with me. If the hail and hurricane downpours and dumping the bike in a river crossing didn't void my warranty, I don't think anything would. : )

...Froggy couldn't run NORAD and SAC from his handlebars if moisture was an issue. Look again.
