Having taken my bike to work today I had no choice but to ride back in this crappy weather of ours. I've ridden in the rain before but I would have to say today was the heaviest I've been out in on the bike. I had a 30km commute from Brampton to Toronto, and by the time I hit the city streets in TO I noticed the bike was performing very roughly. For example, I'd have the throttle at a constant position in first or second and sometimes it would seem underpowered, then catch, and suddenly rev up, then rinse and repeat. I had to be extra careful in this weather and basically ride my clutch to prevent any mishaps.
Is this common in the rain? I don't recall ever running into the issue before. If it is related to water/moisture somewhere, is it likely to return to normal when the bike dries up? It's stored in a garage for now and given our nice forecast I doubt I'll be taking it out for the rest of the week.
It's an '06 Ninja 650r if that makes any difference.
