Aint that the truth. Picked up an aftermarket pipe a couple weeks ago and rejetted to what FMF recommended just for the heck of it. Went riding and of course the jetting was off a bit so I was planning on rejetting once I cleaned the bike. Pressure washed the darn thing, let it dry a bit, and fired it up to move it up into my toolshed. The bugger quit on me and after kicking it a bunch of times to no avail and almost believing I got water in the wrong places, I took out the plug and cleaned it (was brand new, ridden for about 4 hours worth). Popped that sucker back in and the bike started and ran for about 15 seconds then it killed again. Changed plugs and its been running fine ever since. My kickstart leg was worked over but I learned something new which is worth more than a few days of muscle aches.
