Welcome to the forums.

Mine did that as well. Get some dielectric grease and put it on the spark plug boot. Should solve the problem. If not, you may want to check and see if water is getting in to the airbox.

Plus pull the front panel and check for any connections that may need to seal if you continue to puddle jump. OPT

Was the same kinda thing on my 325. Hosing it down did nothing. Putting it in a creek or in a really hard pouring rain, and you wondered if it was gonna make it.
