went riding today and went through some mud on the road and it got all over the
radiator. So I stopped at a car wash and washed off my bike. Well when I got back on the bike it started fine but when I pulled out of the car wash the bike started missing, and I was about 30 miles from home and it kept missing everywhere in the rpm range, and I had to ride it home. It just kept sputtering all the way home like it was missing or something.
Can anybody tell me whats wrong with my bike??
spark plugs maybe?

replace the plugs anyway and do so with the ones that run a little cooler (i've heard) but I don't remember which ones those are..........
By the time you replace the plugs all the other water that caused the gremlin will be evaporated and then it can only be your plugs

I have never heard of the plugs getting fouled from that so you should report back to tell me if that really did foul them. I would also remove the coils and make sure all the connectors are nice and dry.....
