Water, water everywhere. I checked on the VFR yesterday and it is drying out nicely. I used a heatgun on the heads and cylinders to try and dry them out a bit more. I removed the exhaust silencer to allow the packaging to drain and get access to the downpipes. Just over 1 litre of was sucked out of the collector. The biggest job was the carbs, all the slides and diaphragms were removed and cleaned, the belmouths and airbox  plate likewise. the whole lot was blown out with compressed air and then given a once over with carb cleaner and blown out again. They are now dry as a bone and reassemble ready for refitting.

This was replicated in each carb.


Before and after

Big improvement


I don't think this is normal
