Default No Spark

Hey everyone, I'm new to this forum, hope someone can help me.
I seem to have a problem when the bike gets wet, it will start and run for a few minutes then shut off, I mean NO spark, the next day it will operate properly.
When this happins I can hear the fuel pump, I have lights but No spark.
All drounds have been cleaned and checked.
Any ideas?

many informed people on the forum..to better help you they will need much more information.
year and model of the bike
fuel injection ?
miles ?
any modifications, pipes, air cleaner, power commander or other fuel device..
more specific: when it gets wet? rain? wash ? while riding? parked ?
the more specific the easier to provide feed back.
welcome to the forum.

I would check two places.
Crank position sensor and wiring.
check the coil connection.
If no power to coil when wet, backtrack that circuit.
