Just got back from about a 25 mile ride, most of it in the country around 60mph. It seemed to me to get worse once I got back into town. Maybe some more riding is in order? |

25 mile ride should have cleared out. In my younger days I rode dirt bikes , many times we would ride through streams and the bikes would act like you describe. but eventually just by riding it it would dry anything up. I wish I could offer more help. It's only water ...it should dry up eventually. You sure everything is connected , maybe one plug wire came loose. eta I cant see a rain storm really doing any harm to it, or riding in a couple of inches of water |

If your coil got wet and grounded out,your plugs wont fire the gas in cylinder...hence dirty plugs,check your plugs and clean/gap them,also check plug wires........if water got into pipes that are fiberglass filled,it may take you a little running before it all clears out.

The basics please.
What make/model/year of motorcycle? Do you own a factory service manual? |

If non of the above have worked, have you checked the air filter?
This is a bit of a reach, but it has happened to me before, if there is significant moisture in the filter(more specifically, standing water in the filter housing), at lower RPM's, and normal cruising, it might not be apparent, but under heavy throttle, like WOT, it may be causing enough vacuum to suck in some of that moisture. A long shot, but maybe worth a look-see. |

I thought about this too. The only problem is the air filter is a pain to get to. Its on my list of things to do this fine afternoon though. |

I just looked at it now and noticed that the exhaust is messed up. The bracket that held it up by attaching to the passenger peg support has broken, and the exhaust hangs about 4 inches lower than it should. There is a bolt missing at the header, and the two exterior header pipes have bent bolts. I will post pics ASAP but photobucket is being difficult.

Exhaust leak reduces backpressure and makes a tuned engine run lean.

 You can see the broken bracket there  And the missing nut. notice the bolts on the outer pipe are bent. Not 100% sure if this is my problem ( I know it is A problem but not sure if it is THE problem) |

An exhaust leak can cause a burnt valve. Check and see if you have water in the spark plug wells. Fix that exhaust dude.

Has it ever been crashed?

The broken exhaust hanger and vertical scratches on the pipe lead me to think yes.

It is a semi-rhetorical question, bear with me. Have you seen this bike? It's the one that needs two little eyeballs painted on one side, because it's spent more time on it's side than a flounder.

The bracket was intact when I bought the bike. And Kirk, if youre going to be a bitch, dont contribute. Thank you. |

Have you ever had a passenger on it, or has the bike ever been in public where you can’t see it?
I know it’s a long shot, but I’m thinking that someone may have used the can as a step point to get on the bike. |

Water related problems are usually electrical. My first choice would be plug wires.
