Welcome to the forum.
You probably have a short somewhere that only affects the bike when wet. I would get a spray bottle filled with water. then with the bike idling start carefully spraying different electrical parts until it starts to sputter. You will then know where to start looking.

Pay attention to around the ignition areas and the fuses.
