Default kaw 450 stalls intermitently after it gets wet

go through water at speed and within a few minuets it'l die. after a while it'l start up and go again then die again. it will repeat this as long as i continue to ride. if i go out and don't get it wet it'l runs great. i asume it's electrical but i don't know to much about bike ignitions any thoughts?

I would clean and dry connections at coil/cdi and plug wire and fill with silicone dielectric grease.(most any auto parts store) . Also check your airbox for water intrusion.(clamps, lid, etc.)

I would think he is riding a KFX 400 with a 450 kit on it. Are you running with out a airbox lid? My brothers Z400 has no cover but he has a outer wear on the box.
