Happened again for the 3rd day in a row :-(. Back/misfires when cold after about 4.5K rpms, but runs fine after warming up significantly.
I'm going to pull the plugs tonight to see how they look and then head out to pick up some new plugs if there aren't more serious issues. Probably won't fix the back/misfire issue but should hopefully let it start much more easily.
I also noticed that the cables for the spark plugs are really cheap and I should upgrade those to a decent set. Not sure why the prior owner would put on such a cheap set.
How easy is it to pull the gas tank off? I am guessing I need to do that before I can replace the wires and I want to be sure I leave enough time to put it back on because I need to ride every day (work).

These things are cold blooded. I would bet that the water from washing the bike was still on some of the ignition parts. The coil/plug wires perhaps. Ride it tomorrow, and see how it does.
