Hi guys,

Today i had a very bad experience. Rained heavily in Bangalore, had to ride while getting drenched in the rain and to top it all my bike stopped working properly. It wouldn accelerate, would go off and then wouldn start with the electric starter. I would ve to kick start and rev really hard. I managed to get myself to a yamaha sc revving the bike like crazy in first and second gear. They told me the problem is something with the grounding and water falling on one of the parts. Im not sure wat it is called, i think he said the adapter. They took the bike in said it would be fine, but i would ve to make sure that water doesn fall on that particular part. I ve highlighted the part in the picture. Didnt have a pic of the gladi so i ve put in an apache.

They also talked about something being wrong with the kill switch. N that being one of the probable reason. I'm highly confused as to wat the problem really is because as soon as i left the showroom 1 km into the ride and the bike started doin the same thing. I somehow managed to get my bike home.
Please do give me suggestions as to what i should be doing.
If what the sc said is right about the adapter, any suggestion how i can keep that part dry It surely will get wet in the rain and i cant keep getting of the bike and drying it.
If there could be some other reason as to why this is happening please tel me wat i should do.
This is not the first time this is happening. Has happened before and i dont want to go through the pain of a broken down bike in the rain again

Thank you in advance for all your help.
