Electrics, ye got the electrics wet.
Could be bad spark plug caps. Could be bad wiring. Could be anything.
Give it a day to dry and she'll be alright.
But, if she's tempermental when washing, might have a problem in the rain, too.
Check plug wires and caps... check all wiring.
Now then...
When washing the bike, like with a power washer of sorts, stay away from under the tank, under the seat, the instrument box, the wheel bearings, behind the side covers, etc.

I power washed MY wheel bearings...came out ok. Got rid of all that nasty black stuff that keeps oozing out, and used some 3-in-1 oil to stop the squealing.

Next, I'm gonna use some JB Weld on the drain plug to fix a small leak..
