bike dies in rain, elp!

The CRC 5-56 vs WD-40 debate is very similar to the synthetic vs mineral oil debate. Depending which side you are on, the other product will cause your motorcycle to self-destruct on application. You have been warned!

Of course both products are mainly petroleum distillates similar to kerosene:

Actually the machine in question is a late 90's blade, Hey how is this for kinda weird. If im getting cramped I sometimes rest my legs on the crash posts. Now this is fine at 100kmph but at 120kmph (on closed roads with expert guidance) after a few seconds its makes it splutter and cough! I cant work it out although it gave me a fright at the time. One leg up is fine but both kill it.

The cutting out problem in the rain kills all the cylinders dead, not just a little cut out on one or two like I get sometimes with my GSXR in the wet.

Hey if anyone happens to find the entire end section of a two brothers pipe within about 40kms north or murchison, its mine! looks like the carbon fibre holes gave out and I might have been concerntrating to much on being a careful and considerate road user to have noticed until it was so late. Jeez its loud!

Had a fantastic ride from hokitika to westport and then through to murch and onto nelson. Saw some other bikes having a good time, luckily saw the cops out in good time to. When I got to murch I thought I was going to need surgery to get the smile off my face. The cops stopping every single vehicle for reg and wof check did that for me. I was okay, I just dont like them closing open road to do some revenue gathering when there are filthy, dirty, underhanded and very loud speeders to catch!

My FZR 400 used to do the same thing, it was just water collecting in the number 1 spark plug well, which wouldn't drain, because the little drain hole was clogged with crap. I bet good money you have the same problem. The water shorts the HT lead, and gives you a weak and crappy spark in the cyclinder.

Check your drain hole on that cylinder...assuming Suzuki gave you one.
