Guest slyder1217 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 Ok, I did a quick search and didn't really find anything matching my problem. A couple weeks ago, the wife an I went for a short ride. Sitting in traffic the bike completely dies. No electrical at all. After inspection, the battery was completely corroded and honestly I knew it needed to be replaced and just hadn't done it yet. Anyway, I get the bike back to my place and tear into it the next day. New battery fully charged still nothing. Found blown 30A fuse just in front of battery. I replaced said fuse and bike now starts and idles and revs just fine. All is well I thought. Got bike out today for short ride to work and about halfway there, same thing again only this time I was at speed. I pulled off and again replaced that fuse (I had some spares just in case) but this time as soon as I reconnected the harness the fuse blew. Any ideas, wiring harness bad maybe? R/R, Stator? All of the above? Electrics are beyond my expertise at this point. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlecreek Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 i am only guessing as i only know 6th gen, but that fuse should only be going to starter circuit....short in starter motor perhaps? maybe a short in the switch? get out your meter!

It's just a steel body where the bulb goes in and it was touching the sub-frame on bumps and ground itself out and blow the 30 amp main fuse.
