I do quite a lot of enduro with my Tenere 3AJ (as much as she and i can both handle). Every time we pass through big waters (or smaller but longer and full throttled ones) she stops or almost stops.
You have to:
1. Pull the clutch immediately and rev it a little otherwise she will cling-clong and die, or
2. Let her stop, dry for 15-20 sec (as she stops you will immediately notice a cloud of steam coming from the engine), pull the choke and start it.
At least these are the simptoms that appear and the solutions that i use everytime with my bike.
From what i observed this happens because of the water flushing + weting the sparkplug cap & contact as this assembly stays exactly in the front of the bike, not on the side (as is the case with lots of other enduros) or inside a pit covered/sealed by a rubber cap as is the case with other enduro-touring bikes (i noticed this solution at the XTZ660 Tenere 3YF).
