Might be wet plug wires. Worn and cracked wires will hold water and direct the spark to ground.
Might hurt alittle but hold the wires loosely in your hand and crank the bike, if you get a little goose then bad wires are your problem.

If not then something else is wet and needs to be dried. Might be a electrical plug.

Have you pulled the plug wire and used a screwdriver or something see if you get an arch to the engine?

Grab a multimeter and check for voltage to your coils. Check the terminals for the electrical connections on the coil pack too. A little corrosion there may be causing the problem.
