05 has me worried
I just bought a new online rear shock and 25mm cartridge kit, I installed it all on Saturday, as my luck would have it, it was raining on Sunday. I took the bike out for a 200 mile rain ride to see how my new suspension felt. After getting home, I gave it a bath before putting it away. When I started the bike after washing it I noticed a dead miss in the motor below 3500 rpm. When I rev it up it seems to clear out. I let it sit hoping if something was wet it would dry out and act straight. After 3 days, I still have a miss below 3500 rpm. It sounds like it is only firing on three cylinders. Do you think it fouled a plug? They are the original spark plugs with 24k on them. I hope it is that simple. Has anyone ever had this problem?

Replace your plugs at worst it does nothing for you to cure the problem at best it fixes it and your only out 30 or so bucks. Either way thats where I would start.
