bike running one minute, not the next.

[Sligeach]

for the first time every i am posting one of those dreaded bike not starting threads!!
the essential info.

bike was running like clockwork,
took off all bodywork, changed oil and front pads.
brought bike for a very wet test ride. everything working as should.
leave bike in rain for an hour (un faired)
put fairing back on.
go to start bike 2 hours later, no go
bike will turn but won't fire at all
when you give in throttle it doesn't sound like bogging down. (fuel?)
Checked
fuel line, vacum line
then it got too dark.

ideas for the morning guys?

essentially petrol engines are easy, all they need is fuel, air and a spark. find out which one of those you havnt got and

take it from there! :D

considering it got wet with no fairings id go for spark?

[viper_biker]

I think kenny has hit the nail on the head. Check that all the plug caps are pushed on as far as they go.

[Cammo]

Check that the spark plug recesses aren't filled with water.

Leaving nc30 cdi's in the rain is a recipe for disaster, they aren't well sealed like rvf units.

If the above doesnt work, open up all exposed and rubber protected connections relating to the ignition system(coil,cdi,etc) and spray some q20 or just allow to dry.. Maybe also check killswitch assembly for water short

cheers buckos.

started with eletrics, damp out on the kill switch assembly, and on all the connections on the right-hand side of the bike, beside the diode.
bob's your uncle, started first kick!! it just stumped me as in the past with bikes if you gave it full throttle it would bogg down, so that why i was thinking fuel.
thanks again boys, whoever said bikes are waterproof were wrong!!
