Rode 600 plus miles in constant torrential rain on my K1 curvy last year without the slightest hint of a cough or splutter. The old fender extender really did the business. And that was French rain - nasty stuff

Fit it and forget it :P

It's meant to do that.The coughing and spluttering gives helpful power pulses to the rear tyre in the wet thus aiding traction and giving improved grip.

Or you could use silicone grease instead of the fender extender

I rode 50 miles in heavy rain on the M4 yesterday. No extenda, no grease, and no cutting out, But I have got an extenda to fit. Gotta take the damn wheel off for it (K1)

though..
