Okay so I was on the freeway coming home from work minding my own business as it's raining and all of a sudden one cylinder then the other struggles?? And? No giddy up. 100% dead. I'm stuck in the rain in the break down lane waiting for a tow truck for more than an hour... So days later I thought it might have been the diaphragm for the fuel petcock again. Sadly no. So it was definitely electrical. I found a few connectors that had corrosion so I fixed that and dielectric greased them mind you I dielectric all the connectors but missed those few. I checked the spark plug boots and did that as well but inspected them and no corrosion but sealed them anyway as I was looking I had seen the good old stator plug was melted and looked like it was nuked. I replace the rectifier a year or so ago. So I cut the plug off both ends and soldered the wires and I used heat shrink and so on.... My question is could it have been a coincidence that maybe the stator plug could have made my bike die??? Please throw me any insight here because she just hates the rain but I want her to know it's fun. But seriously please I need to know what electrical areas I should look in to because I'm scared that she will leave me stranded again.... Oh and as we were loading the bike in the rain on the tow truck? Two cars locked their brakes towards the tow truck luckily they didn't hit us but a few feet is way to close for comfort. Sorry for the novel I typed.

 

Seems unlikely both cylinders would go out riding in the rain. If the stator connector was damaged enough to sever the continuity of one or more of the three wires, the battery would not get charge current. At some point the ignition system would stop.working.
After repair of the burnt connector, does the engine start?

 

A few things come to mind

Fuel tank vent hose was partially pinched up high and the end down in the water caused a form of vapor lock. Add a small dirt bike aftermarket one-way check valve for a fuel tank on a short hose that fits over the side barb of a T-connector fit inline with the tank vent hose cut up just below the tank vent nipple. When the engine chokes and stumbles it seems electrical.

Or, the side stand switch wire is cracked and shorting out in the rain. Replace it.

The starter relay up by the battery could also be faulty.

And the alternator to VRR could be the culprit, but I would not have soldered the connection, as it's very unsafe not to be able to remove the alternator coils quickly from the system. Issues with the charging system, fluctuating voltage and spikes in amperage could ply havoc with the igniter box...

And there are other possibilities...

Yes. I cut the plug from the stator that mates up to the other half of the plug and directly soldered each wire. I've have to do this method to all my bikes because that plug is the weak point in the charging system. Every time I've done that it's never had a problem ever again. Oh and just now coming home from work it was raining and sure enough it started to die on me again.... This is getting frustrating. This time when it was trying to die on me I parked in the parking lot and held the throttle to about 2000 rpm and just let it run for like 5 or so minutes it started to get it's power back but it wasn't raining in that part of town. I'm really worried about this because I use it to get back and forth to work and I need it to be dependable in all weather....

 

Okay thank you. I will check all of that and hopefully I can find the answer to that. If I find out what is causing this I'll let you know. Thanks again for this direction I can try.
