Loose plugs
If anybody is having trouble starting when wet check the plugs to see if they have loosened at all. Every time I washed my bike I was having trouble starting when done. Happened after getting soaked when parked during a thunderstorm too. I never had a problem before and was clueless as to why until I was doing a PM and checked the plugs. When I put the wrench to them they were just slightly more than hand tight. I checked the plugs which were fine and have been through thunderstorms and a good wash twice since then with no trouble...

Hmm. Thought it was just me with this issue. Only the rear plug does this. Two times, I could have placed socket on there and probably wrenched it by hand. Front no problem.
Started around the time the freakin engine started shaking like a rabid varmint (another issue). Just snugged them a bit tighter. Haven't noticed any issues as of the past two months.

Same here after applying anti-seize (copper grease), but I use my thumb and index to 'stop before the pain' instead of the torque meter.
