Soaking wet air filter

Yup.
Father in law raced top fuel dragster taught me that one, it works. I’m sure you could overdo it, don’t use a garden hose! I keep mister bottles around for it.
 
At the pinnacle of piston engine development for fighter planes nearing the end of WWII, planes came with a "go fast" button that allowed a short (seconds) over-throttle condition, made possible by water injection to slightly cool the intake air and accept a tad more fuel.
 
From what I understand developed by the Germans to bring the octane rating of their poor quality fuel up so their aircraft could compete with the allies. I found it really interesting reading when I was looking into using it to cool the intake charge in my ute.
 
Well, Brahma is back to happy now. The old filter is not useable so I am getting a new one and since it is just 700 miles till the oil change might as well get it all now. Thanks for your input brothers.
 

Well, heck, I learned something new today!
 
Figure out where the water eegress is coming from and fix the problem. Probably the imtake elbow going to the air box.

From bitter experience - depending on the rain direction, angle/lean of the bike etc - It can (does) enter via the intake snorkel under the seat - esp R/H side. No big issue (fill the snorkel with spray foam) if you use K&N/RAMAIR etc. Rather limiting if like @Boog you use the filterbox to actually filter.
