Default Having some issues, this is good

Yesterday I'm waiting for a bunch of the guys 2 show up, I'm waiting, and waiting, so I started the bike warmed it up, blah balh....waiting some more so I spray down the bike, with the hose. Buddies get to my house and I start up the bike and it sounds like a ****ty lawn mower with one cylinder. I figured my plugs went becasue I've had problems in the past, just changed them today, nothing, same **** happens. So I checked all fuses, connections, blah....NO CLUE.....WTF!? Bike sounds like its running one one cylinder and takes the choke and everything else to get it going

Any guidance and or help is greatly appreciated

electrics got wet - weak spark, or shorted out... put it out in the sun - see if it starts later in the day.

Dude, relax.... I love reading these postings and ussually every posting states the same response I would have to a problem, so normally I don't post... But never the less, it sounds to me electrical. If it ran fine the moment before you took the hose to it, then obvious electrical... Like the guy stated before me, let that baby sit and when she dries out completly, I'm a guessing she will run like before. Good luck, and be patient, its only may!

I've almost put 2k miles on my bike so far lol.......I love to ride......I let the bike sit infront of a fan for about ten hours, two fans actually.....Then let it sit in the sun in 75 degree weather all day, same thing. I'm going to recharge the air filter and see what happens

drain the bowls of your carbs, you might have gotten to much water in the intake. Just a thought.

You might want to check your petcock. Whenever I shut mine off, I have to switch between the three settings a few times in order to get it to start draining fuel. Dunno why, it's clean, I think it just might be a kink in the design.
