Sounds like possibly a bad connection. Easy stuff first, battery terminal connections. Since it was raining, the starter connections and the battery ground to engine (take it off and clean it, not just tighten).
If that doesn't do it, pop the 7 bolts off and remove the fairing cover (leave the center windshield bolt 'till last). Unplug the radio plugs one at a time and look for green corrosion on the pins. If you find some, clean it off and put some silicone grease on the plug and reconnect.
