rain makes bike stall?

[il_ragazzo]

rode my bike to school today and coming home i was caught in the rain. the bike started to act like crap about a mile later.... hesitation back fires and loss of power.... i'm thinking its a plug but all 4 down pipes are piping hot!
what should i be looking for?

Had the same thing happen to me once before, so I used some advice CP had given in a thread one time - I put dielectric grease on all the electric connectors, including spark plug wires, boots, cdi, etc. If I could get to it, I put the grease on it! Have never had an issue since, and have even ridden in really bad rainstorms! Hope this helps.

Pack your spark plug boots with dielectric grease, and seal up where the wires come out of your coils and your ignition control module.

thanks guys! that's the first time it's ever happened to me which is weird cause i ride through the rain all winter.
off to find dielectric grease.

I got some bad gas the day it was raining and after that my car does the idle thing a few times . Its water in the gas im thinking and it will pass soon .. I drive a 1990 geo storm 2+2 with 50,000 miles on it .

You know they have medicine for that...

Sorry, I couldn't resist. I'm feeling a bit childish tonight.
