    Had to take my 00 610e to an mot retest this evening in torrential rains managed to get halfway there and the bike stalled at a road ending. It seemed to be running a bit lean as if it was starved of fuel I churned it over and it started and I was on my way got there, passed mot, went to come home and it died coming out of the mot centre again it started and I got a few miles and it died again as if it ran out of fuel. It feels like it's being starved of fuel but it's been fine any other time so the only thing I can think of was the amount of rain that was falling must have gotten sucked in the air filter. Anyone else ever have trouble in the rain?

    I had a similar problem. My bike would stop running after I washed it. I put dielectric grease on every electrical connector I could reach and that seems to have solved the problem.

    Thanks I'll give that a try. It was seriously heavy rain though.
