Thanks Tilly
engine missfire at 4.500rpm and over
G'day Tilly,
I would be more inclined to check your electrical/spark system first. Check the condition of your plugs, as this is a good indicator of what's going on. I.E what color are they burning ? Perhaps even a simple spark test to see if you have a good strong pulse.
Also, does the bike have the original bosch coils ect ? and have your pickups been rewired at any stage ? ......both common faults !
Good luck with it, cause the SD is a brilliant all round bike to own.
Cheers
Rick

I have desmo disease, I just hope they never find a cure !!!
Tilly,
A little unusual for water to be the problem, but I guess anything is possible. Just check your wiring to the pickups as these tend to break down over time and cause problems. In fact, I would re-do the wiring whilst you have the thing in bits, if it hasn't already been done, cause it will surely cause you problems down the track, even if it isn't the issue right now. ????
Just remember, the position of those pickups is critical, if you move them you will need the factory tool to reset.
All the best
