My last bike only had 5200 miles on it, but it had been stood for a while. Then a work mate asked if I would go for a ride with him because he didn't know where to go, and never been outside Wigan on his MT09. So I got the bike out and within 5 miles it developed a super duper misfire, with pops and bangs. I put this down to bad old fuel, anyway I persevered and a 100 odd miles later arrived safe and sound back home with a pop and a bang. I drained the tank and there was a bit of water in the fuel, so with the tank dry I put fresh fuel in and it was no different. I was thinking

A good tip is to shine a torch on it from the opposite side, liquid shows up then.

What a lovely forum this is! Well done Brian, that's a very nice gesture (not that I would expect anything else!).
