Cool Re: bike wont start please help

just leave the bike to dry for a few hours, if that doesn't work take exhaust off and see if there is a blockage, and take carb completely off and blow through jets.

with a lot of bikes in the rain water just gets into the ignition coil cap witch makes some of the spark jump outside instead of staying in the cap. happens to a lot of bikes they ride in bad conditions on & offroad.
