Engine missing
This past weekend I washed the bike and now the engine is missing at all RPM's. It is also backfiring on deceleration, not bad, but still enough to bug me. Any input would be appreciated.

Well at this point I guess we know it's water related!
Do you have a plug in ECM module like a Power Commander or something whose connections could have been breached by water?
Buy a can of compressed air and start going through all your quick disconnects and opening them and blowing them out....just a thought...
Let her sit in the sun for the day ?
I'd go with plan "A" first.

and that BLASTER thingy is just the greatest...The air volicity that that thing throws is about (here I go getten in trouble again) "In My Opinion" 10 times faster and more concentrated. It's blows water 100% off, gone, bye bye, from every nook and cranny.
It's actually pretty amazing. BUT BACK TO YOUR problem.......
Howed water get in there in the first place?
1) Don't shoot a water hose streem at your bike.
2) Wash it with a bucket of water and soap and rinse it with a GENTLE flow of water.
Don't shoot water at the bike like you would a car.....
