+1 on the Thanks for all the contact info. I took my seat off last week, and found the 30 A fuse was getting all rippled from heat, and the wiring was even more cooked.
When the first 30 A fuse blew and I got stranded last Fall, I cleaned everything with contact cleaner, and used dielectric grease. A while back I'd noticed the fuse looked somewhat stressed again, and now it looks really bad.
I decided I'd better check this thread again to read the latest news on the problem(s). Mine's an '02 with around 12K, and it has an extended warranty, but when I last called a dealer about the problem, the Service Manager claimed if I put dielectric grease on the all the contacts it wouldn't happen again.
I asked the Service Manager if he could tell me why my other bike, with 45K on it , hadn't ever had a bit of dielectric grease on anything but had never blown a fuse, and he couldn't explain that one... :joystick:
Cooler air sounds awfully good... Tomorrow's out, but Sunday maybe - if my newly repaired back is ready for a longer ride. It's been three weeks, it's not going to mess anything up, it just may hurt a little more than I'd like, but -
