Got home yesterday with the bike running on (I think) only two cylinders. I had ridden from Ayr to Glasgow (approx. 35 miles) in what can only be described as a monsoon the whole way. When I came off the M8 the bike was losing one cylinder just off idle. It idled OK-ish, give the throttle a blip and there was slight hesitation before the fourth one chimed in about 1500 ~ 2000 rpm. Still had to get home. Back on bike for twenty mile ride home. Still running the same, still a monsoon. Bike ran a bit rough, sixth gear wasn't being helpful so ran along fifth. Then about eight miles from home one cylinder just died completely. Got off the motorway, four miles to go, and I think I had a two and a half cylinder. By the time I got home I think another one had gone west. It wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding. So, to my question. Have I possibly stored up some future engine damage or demise. I'm generally thinking of the effects of bore wash. It's been a long, long time since I rode in weather like that. The wife poured water out one of my gloves when I got home and my "waterproof" trousers and my boots had given up the ghost early on. My Akito Cordura jacket kept my body completely dry though, which was nice. Thank fuck it wasn't cold.
