AFTER WASHING MY 1500, IT SPUTTERS, BUT WONT START?
DID I GET SOMETHING WET?
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.
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...
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.
