I've found that burying a 'damp' electronic item in (uncooked!) rice, slightly warmed in the microwave, to be an excellent dry-er-out-er. Obviously remove batteries and indeed anything else you can remove.
Even better is a big heap of those silicon gel bags as they don't have the dust that is inevitable with rice. However, when something like that gets damp or wet, you need to rescue it ASAP and by the time a box of silicon gel packets arrive in the post from ebay or wherever, it might well be too late for the rescue.
Just bury it in the dry rice, not stirring things around too much, while waiting for the silicon gel packets to arrive. I've rescued a couple of phones and a camera with rice.
That's going to need an awful lot of rice!
Unless the unit can be separated from the bike, of course.

Warming the rice BEFORE adding the electronic item, I assume!
My nephew drowned his iPhone when he got caught out in a thunderstorm. He got a new phone, but the old one was placed in a bag of rice and the bag put in a warm airing cupboard. It got forgotten about. Weeks or months later a family member found the bag of rice with the phone in it. They plugged the phone in to charge the battery and it immediately came back to life!
