Not waterproof

I have a Benelli TRK 251 from 2020.
I have owned it for 4 months.
It has worked very well.
But... today I was riding in rain. And the engine stopped.
After the sun came back and I waited some time, it started working again.
I rode for 2 hours with no problem.

So it was obliviously the rain that caused the problem.

On 40-50 year old bikes, the spark plug cap cracks. Water comes in and create short cut. But on an almost new bike ?

And checking the spar kplug cap requires that you remove: plastic side covers, plastic tank cover, fuel thank and... (Good old times when you could reach the spark plug direct)

Have anyone been in the same situation ?
And solved the problem ?

Thanks for any advice. (Expect obvius....check electric system.... )
