yesterday i took the bike to one of our offices, about 1.5hrs riding on the highway. i got into a really strong downpour, and was also going pretty fast. after a while i had some misfires.
this was the strongest rain i've had on the bike since the rebuilt so kind of a good test... but getting through 3 lanes of traffic over to the hard shoulder with a sputtering, slowing down engine still took some nerves.
anyway, i suspected the coils and lifted off the tank. indeed, after drying off its electrical connections and waiting for the rain to stop, the bike ran again like nothing ever happend.
guess the bike doesn't like bad weather. that's not too good in this wet and chilly country!
the HT wire connections at the front seem pretty well protected with the rubber boots but the connections on the back are less so. i suppose i can try packing them in dielectric grease to keep away humidity.
see how that goes. otherwise i migh have to fabricate some kind of cover to protect them better.
