Help! VXR cannot start after washing bike

[jimmy631]

I brought my bike to those petrol station let the AhNehs wash my runner. They used water to splash onto the carb area and engine area. After that, I cannot start the bike. After a few times, it started, but the moment I rev the bike, it died. I started again but to no avail. A few times, it started, but died after few seconds. I think water got in somewhere. Can anyone advise me what can I do to get it started again. I pushed the bike from petrol station to my home. Now i leave it in carpark overnight, tomolo try again. But I think it will be the same again.

 

Can someone advise me what can I do without having to tow to shop. Where is the possible area that water can get in? PLs help........

the spark plu is located at inside the panel on your RH footrest.. u will c one square panel next to the air vent... n need to put your hand abit deep to access.. seem the mech doing it, like wan their hand to twist sia...
