Let it dry.

Don't let it suck in water and hydrolock.

Get the AEM with the bypass valve if you get a ton of rain where you live.

hopefully your just fouling your mass airflow sensor, take it out and just blow it dry, i dont really recomend compressed air as it may damage it but this happend to me before and after it was dry it worked just fine again

Same thing happened to me. It was all kinds of stalling too. All i did to fix was just park it, let it idle for a little, and took it easy until i got home. The next day i took off my entire intake system, and dumped the water out of the J section under the filter (which i believe is poor engineering) cleaned the filter, oiled it. And just let it idle for a while, let everything inside get dried out from the combustion. Now its fine.

damn, makes me glad i have that cause im in ohio and we get our fair share of rain here too...

i just installed my intake today so i dont know how it will be with rain, but even with the wet sock off i dont think it would matter... the filter goes down near the under car plastic guards and is well blocked off from rain n stuff! i installed my dry-charger though, even though its supposed to be nice for the next week or so.

Thanks for the insight, I'll definately remember to keep the dry-charger on when I get my K&N intake. I'll need it here in the Northeast.

I don't mean to come off like a retard from Brooklyn, NYC...but to ask an honest question...does it rain much harder in NC and MI than say where I'm from? All this hydrolocking stuff has gotten me nervous about popping in a CAI. Though someone on the board told me not to worry unless the filter gets submerged. It rains hard occasionally here but my standards of raining hard could be laughable compared to other places.

What part of Brooklyn you from?? I was born there, lived there for a few years and moved out to L.I but all my family is still out there...Im always out there in the Dyker Heights area. Put the intake on, you will be fine...just do a short ram instead of a full CAI.

Thanks Simply. I'm from Bay Ridge/Sunset Park area. Went to Stony Book for undergrad, and Pace for grad school. You'd be surprised how poor someone could when he is paying off 100K in school loans, 4K a month take home don't mean nothing, lol. .

BTW - J&R steakhouse in E. Setauket, beats Palm, Old Homestead, Smith and Wollensky's, and Peter Luger's hands down. Oh and I had an 03 R6 right when it came out I sold it after three months cuz it was giving me a back ache, picked up a YZF600R, sold that I'm happy with the F4 though. I had to drop a tooth on it to get the wheel to come up, the old R6 I would just whack the throttle and ahhhhhhhh.....gotta love fuel injected bikes! We should do a bike run one of these days!
