Check through the low tension side of the ignition maybe you have a bad connection that's worsened with the damp

Sure it not firing on 3 cyclinders?
If it's only happening when its wet, I would check for water ingress at most if not all of the connectors for coil/ign packs, even checking for loose connections, You said it burnt out a componant, I would be checking for loose connection as this causes high resistance and can generate a higher voltage and cause componants to burn out/
Hope this helps.
On a dry day or in your garage, Can I suggest a squeezy bottle of water and spray the engine/coil/plug areas to try and get the fault to occur might help, something else is that your airfilter might be dry and allowing water droplets to get through with the air, all air filters are usually oil coated, this help stop water ingress to a point but will not stop alot of water if the water is pouring into the airbox.

When wet. Coils most likely, clean the end of the coils thoroughly and examine for any marks leading from the "Nose" where the HT lead enters the Coil to other terminals, these are called cracks and the spark tracks along these and "shorts" out the cylinder, this ony occours when the air is damp.
If the coil is marked, scrap it, therre is no cure.

What is idle rpm of a bike and what is its significance?

When It's wet go into a really dark place and see if you can see any sparks especially when you rev it up. just
open the throttle "briefly" but fast, to put load onto the ignition. If you see sparks that is where the problem
is........... Don't rev it up high, Just open the throttle
"full" for 1 second. ( the time it takes you to say,
"One Elephant")

Why does my little kawasaki ninja 250 set off car alarms?

just reading the replys so far, i hope it is only running on three cylinders as tridents only have three. i wworked on triumph motorcycles for 2 years. the only thing i can think of is the carbs need cleaning.also check for water where you put the spark plugs, place some tissue in to see if it soaks up water. other than that you will have to take to garage and let them look at it. it shouldnt cost too much to have it checked over and the fault diagnosed.hope this helps.

Had this on a few bikes, for a cheap fix buy a large can of WD40 or similar and spray copiously over all electrics, switches engine, carbs etc. If this cures it repeat when necessary.
