I agree with Paul Linn, you should check your distributor cap.
Moisture here can cause a hairline carbon trail to form on the inside
for the spark to travel along. Inspect it closely, wipe it out maybe
with an electrical contact cleaner. Sometimes the only fix is to replace
it.
The only other thing I can think of is maybe water in your gas when
you washed it.

| I am getting spark at the plugs. The spark plug wires & caps are dry and firmly attached. Ditto coil. Gas in the tank. Checked float bowls. Carbs are getting gasoline. Points adjusted properly. Checked the airbox, and even ran it without the airbox. Same result. Other than the bike wash, the bike was running PERFECTLY, and had run perfectly for 800 miles, before I parked it. |
