Re:BAK sucking water 3 Years, 8 Months ago  
You might have way too much oil on your filter when you recharge it. When I had my Roadie, and when I recharged my filter for the first time, my bike would not want to start or run very good at all. I had oil all over my pipes. I latere found out on this sight that you don't need a whole lot of oil on your filter. Just enough to turn it a light red color. If you overcharge your filter, basically what you are doing is suffocating your motor. I have never ran my raincoat on my BAK and never had a problem in the rain. To sum it up....just put a light even coat of oil on your filter, and if you want go ahead and use your raincoat. Good luck man. You might want to check your plugs too....they might be pretty carboned up.
