I've had this airhorn for a coupla years and it musta saved my butt a good few times while riding in the NYC area.  And now it stopped working after a journey that I took thru New England to peek at the foilage - it sure was beautiful.

Do you guys think that it stopped working due to the rain (and cold!) that I experienced during my trip? 

Is it repairable?

Mine just did the same thing.  It still works but sounds muted and muffled.  I have mine mounted under the swingarm.  Someone suggested in my post to remove it and bang it some to loosen up dirt that is in there.

If you have access to an air compressor, take the hose off and blow through it.   Usually it is bug guts, or mud in the snout.  So don't be a lookin at it when ya hit the compressor trigger.........

   I had a pair of Rivcos that sat for a while and when I re-mounted them they wouldn't work.  I sprayed some WD40 into them and got some more use out of them.

Now, I have a Stebel  "light truck" horn  mounted , bell down, where my petcock switch used to be.
