mine has done that a couple times after I washed it...start right up after drying out. Dunno, ignition switch is a good posibility. Happy Thanksgiving

Seems to me that I heard of someone that described this exact problem and after much hair pulling it turned out to be the ignition switch getting moisture in it.

I have the problem that if the bike is left out in the rain (it's my daily ride so it happens!) it won't start. Have replaced battery so i know thats good. It's charging properly. Starts first push in the morning when it comes out of the garage but if it's left out in the rain it won't fire. Last time this happened I had the recovery service out and we checked for spark..OK and fuel...OK , turned over OK but it just wouldn't fire. I suspect an electrical problem but there is nothing obvious. Anyone else had this problem and find the culprit.
