I was riding home in the rain today and its pretty damn cold out, so pull out the choke, fire her up and ride out. As I mentioned before it was raining and the road conditions were pretty shitty so I neglected to shut off the choke for about 10 minutes because my focus was on the road and being safe. A few miles later the bike starts to sputter and lose power as if I ran out of gas. I pull over and the bike dies. After a couple attempts it fires up, but sounds really funny. Cant describe it but its just not right. I blip the gas and pull back onto the road and it feels like half of the power is gone. I am doing all I can to keep it from dying by bliping the throttle. I just wanted to get the bike home. It feels like I was only using one cylinder.
So long story short did I just foul one of the spark plugs due to the choke being on for longer than normal, or could it be something more serious. I hope not. (knock on wood) I will pull the plugs tomorrow to check. Cant right now due to the rain and cold,(no garage).

 

Water on a plug wire? I'd guess front.

 

$20 says you fouled a plug.

 

Nah... not likely... I ran atleast 100mi once without realizing I hadn't pushed back the choke and it was fine...

Most likely either water in the vent tube making a vapour lock or water on some of the electronics...
