So I may have got my Enertia a little to wet when detailing it. When I finished washing it and went to take it home it wouldn't go, no error codes or fault lights. It says it's ready to drive but when I twist the throttle I feel a very small surge then nothing. hoping it dries out in the next couple days. Has anyone else experienced this maybe a guess on what part I may have got to wet to inspect or replace?

Maybe it could use a good blow-dry with a hair dryer. ;)

It's probably the kill switch on the handlebar next to the throttle. It's not protected from water intrusion, so rain or simply washing the bike might cause the problems your having. I had similar symptoms when I got caught in a heavy rain, ran fine till I shut it off. The fix is to blow out the interior of the switch from underneath with compressed air or use a hair dryer as Richard230 suggested. I preferred to remove the kill switch from the handlebar, blow out the insides until you don't see anymore moisture, then give the insides a shot or two of WD40, it acts as a water dis-placer, rock the switch a few times then blow the switch out again to remove any excess WD40 and reinstall. It should run normally now, if it doesn't your going to have to dig deeper.

What amped said.
A big rain killed my Empulse R when water got in the throttle housing. Compressed air, WD-40. Then I taped the seam between the two halves with vinyl electrical tape. No problem since then.
