runner Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 I was caught in another HEAVY Nashville TN rain yesterday (record rainfall here in Mid-TN). There were no stopping options since I was on the interstate in heavy traffic. Anyways, I ride in rain or whatever all year...and the bird began to misfire on one cylinder. What could have been the cause? Plug or plug wire, ignition, or ??? I have around 50k miles on 2 different birds and have never had a misfire in heavy rain until now. The bike cleared up fine after I got out of the rain and it ran perfect on the way to work this morning. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Knievel Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 My guess would be a short or crack in one of the spark plug wires (water allowing spark dispersal before it reaches the plug). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
