popping like crazy on takeoff

Took a good few tries to turn the curvy over this morn and a good while to warm up. About 10mins in to the journey while taking off from stationary the exhaust would pop like crazy and be very sluggish on acceleration. Got to a shop and pulled in and while looking around it, it died. Turned off the lights and suprisingly she started pretty swiftly so off i went. Rode the rest of the way with the lights off as i thought it might be a weak battery after the initial few startup tries and it was fine. Any idea's? Was out for 3hrs in heavy rain yesterday in case that matters...
Have my test tomorrow so it has me worried now..

The usual....front spark plug well full of water. Clean, grease, pipe cleaner through drain hole, fit fender-extender.

Have a fender extender on already. If it was the front spark well full of water, how come it didn't happen yesterday when it was raining, only today (its dry out). And once i restarted it after it died when i pulled in it then ran fine...

Yeah....you're right. It'll be nothing to do with that at all, and will be something really complicated. Probably.

Whilst riding flash your lights with the pass button, does it cut out?

Relax with the sarcasm...just trying to figure it out...like why it didnt immediately happen considering today is dry out, and when it did, why it only lasted for a few mins...
There only questions lad..

Because it sat in the garage damp overnight and this penetrated the plug / lead. Running it then stopping for a while allowed the heat from the engine to dry things out enough to let it run ok afterwards? For the effort involved, checking the front plug is a good start.......
