Had this problem when leaving my bike out at a friend's house overnight; dew did it.  New NGK plugs solved the problem.  Every 20,000 mi or so replace or carry new plugs.

Yeah, I'd check the plug caps, and ensure the air box isn't wet. Blow out the switches and cut-outs too... Unless you used a pressure washer you shouldn't be getting water into anything that would cause a problem...

hmmmm....if you have an air compressor, you can try blowing around the spark plugs and intake to dry it out faster, or just ride it. This happens a lot when people 'clean' their engines at the car wash- moisture gets everywhere it shouldn't- should end up burning off.
