Ok for the last 3 months bike runs great.Yesterday had it out great as usual.Today it rains hard.Bike was in garage.Temp is about 60degrees and not rained in 2hours. I go out to get on bike and it wont start. The started turns engine and everything, but the first time i tried starting it sputtered for 2seconds like it was flooded.I always put choke on when starting it cold.I did this as well and without it.Now it just keeps turning and wont catch.Throttle is all the way back and nothing. Any help

Let it sit for a few. Then try it again. Also, make sure your tank is on reserve. Turn the choke off, crank the throttle wide open while turning the motor over.

i got it. I went back out after i posted...did something similar. I crack it over with barely any gas...let it run VERY low idle and just play with the gas.A tiny bit more...a tiny bit more..back off...more...than finally i was able to goose it. Is this due to colder weather? It was about 85degrees 2 days ago then we got clouds and now its 60.

Maybe you got some rain in the carbs or the sparkplugs got wet?

No way the plugs would get remotely wet on that bike. Only if the rubber protectors that sit on top of the valve cover would be missing. Even then, that still would most likely wouldn't matter due to the extremely tight fit of the wire to the plug.

If rain gets in your carbs, you will be leaking gas rendering the bike useless anyway.

there is no way rain could have gotten in anywhere.I garage it at all times and had not been out at all that day...then around 1pm it rained so hard for like 3hour we got 3inches and street flooded. After rain stopped for 2hours i got on bike and thats when it didnt start.
