erratic tach and engine dieing

Well, I was out for a ride today. Some mud, some water (in the mud of
course) not too deep at all really.
Anyways, when I got home I parked the bike, opened the garage door
and came back to see the tach jumping all around. I gave it some gas
and the motor died. I fired it back up and it did the same thing for
a little bit (teach jumping around) and then all was fine, at-least
from the time I started it till I put it in the garage.
I remember this coming up before on the list and cannot seem to find
it anywhere though. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I am hoping
all will be fine when I go out tomorrow to ride the bike, but if not
I would like a few ideas to take on.
OHH, if it really matter much, it is a 01 650.
TIA
Brian

I woould open all the connectors between the instruments, the CDI, the
stator, the coil, and the tach- clean and grease them.
This wasn't done at the factory, if you are going to ride mud and water
crossings you'll have lots more electrical gremlins later on if you
don't take care of this now.

Whatever your choice, please be sure it's fitted with a USFS-approved
spark arrestor.
