Long story short, changing the spark plug (10000 miles) took away the slight surge issue and fortunately the water in the tank is gone along with the starting issue
Good reminder for all of us JKR if caught in a deluge, problems with water sneeking into the tank can make motor run really weird like electric issues in following weeks. Not necessarily during that ride. So when riding in wet weather I run some additive in the following days that will get the water out. I've been caught in down pours for hours on end and water does get into the system somehow. rj
