rain's affect if any on the klr

Post by skinks1@msn.com » Tue Sep 25, 2001 6:08 pm

My A13 has a dynojet kit, K&N air filter and a Supertrapp IDS and runs like a champ. I left my friend's house and went to the gas station about 1/2 mile away. It was drizzling. I gassed up with premium gas (not from a single hose pump) under a protective overhang. I went about 5 miles in the driving rain (frequently behind cars whose draft was a cloud of water) and the bike started running real rough: missing, speeding up then down with no change on the throttle, seemed to be worse at 4000-5000 rpm. I drove it like this for about 100 miles until I got home. Washed and let bike dry 2 days. Cleaned K&N air filter and reoiled. Just took a test drive (about 20 minutes). No sign of the problem. Any ideas?
