Just washed my XB12S (2005) at the car wash...I did not blast anything with the high pressure stream and low and behold, the bike started missing and stalling at low rpm, it would accelerate and run a little better with larger throttle openings, but, still pops. Dried out and runs fine. Anybody have any similar issues and were able to find the waterproofing weakness. Figured some of the gurus might have experienced the same issue and be able to save me some time. Thanks. Kenny

Most commonly it's the sparkplug boots or coil connections. A bunch of dielectric grease usually prevents it.
