My bike don't like the rain

[blue eyed savage]

ever/sometimes when i ride in the rain my bike runs on 3 cyclders some times is an out side one, some times a middle. it dropped down to 2 once and the bike died soon after i played with the leads and that works (sometimes) but truth be told i don't know whats going on.
and its only in heavy rain.

maybe moisture is getting on the HT leads or around the spark plugs? causing the spark to arc to the head?

[riffer]

I'll put my money on it being moisture in the low tension lead blocks. Suzuki route these behind the steering head and they get damp.

Get some vaseline and rub it into where the leads go into the wiring block.

It'll keep going even if you ride it into the river after that.

You could also look at the spark plug caps too. A bit of vaseline smeared over the tops of them works wonders too.
