Apologies if this isn't in the right place. I've recently been on a longer trip and I got caught in the rain a few times for long period of time. When this happened I'd have an issue with the acceleration.
From around 4-4.5k rpm the bike would accelerate very slowly, so the revs would slowly go up and when it hit 6k rpm I'd get a jolt and the bike would finally accelerate normally.
Some other details:
- the bike is a 2008 FZ6 S2 with almost 40k miles on the clock
- this happened only while cruising on the motorway (it was constantly raining, nothing torrential but just enough to cause a lot of water spray on the road)
- in the dry I had absolutely zero issues with the bike
- the bike has been serviced fairly regularly
- after I got back home I opened up the air filter box and found a lot of oil in it, not sure it's related but maybe worth mentioning (https://i.imgur.com/WDSqt68.jpg)
- I checked the error codes and it's showing error 33 Malfunction detected in the primary wire of the ignition coil (#1, #4).
I'm not really sure what's going on, my guess is that somehow water got into the engine and mixed with the air/fuel but why would that happen?
Update: I'm guessing based on that error that water is getting in somewhere and causing misfires?
