Went for a ride a week ago, entered in to some poring rain, bike started missing on the front jug. Got it home but and the miss fire was intermitent. Under a load it seemed to do it worse but it was either there or it wasnt. Pulled the plug, looks fine and I have a blue spark from it. Any suggestions as to where I should look next? I'm hoping a fellow bueller has had the same issue. 04 12R.

if it stops when the bike dries out i would say it's a faulty wire (spark plug wire)
replace the plug and trouble shoot
also take the timing cover off and make sure it's dry

Check the connection between the coil and spark plug wire.

Did as mentioned above, nice blue spark on the plug but still same problems. Bike is dry, this happened to me a week ago and I have had it sitting in the sun for several days plus a air blow of accesable areas....
Well, got pissed off and called the shop to pick it up... so no bike for the weekend but at least they can deal with it... maybe I'm just frustrated about the whole issue since I have had 3 dates in 4 days and I still havent been laid. : ) Are ALL women natural teases? Thanks for the help though, on the bike!!!!!!!
