Main fuse keeps blowing!

Can anyone shed light as to why my main fuse (a 30) keeps blowing? It happened twice, and luckily I carry spares cos once its blown theres no power to the ignition, no power to anything! Its the one located on the same mount as the regulator/rectifier under the seat.

Yeah i would start with the regulator rectifier, you normally know when there on the blink as a funny eggy smell is pretty distinctive when they burn out.

Have you unplugged it and put the multi across it at all Stooge???

Re: Main fuse keeps blowing!

Check all your terminals and connections for corrosion and bad connections. Does the starter motor sound ok when you're cranking it, it's its a bit cactus it might be drawing too many amps.

Let me know WTF caused this problem, when I was up in QLD after about an hour straight the bike was cutting out on me and not blowing fuses, I also had the same fuse problem you had but mine was a short off the loom....

Best of luck...

Re: Main fuse keeps blowing!

You Have An Open Circuit Somewhere In Your Harness. Could Be A Pinched Or Frayed Wire, Could Be A Certain Electrical Part Failure. How Often Does It Occur?

Re: Main fuse keeps blowing!

It happens only when stuntin so far. I will look into the bits mentioned, cos when stuntin, its the only time I have the fan override switch on to keep motor cool, so maybe its overloading something and blowing it.

Re: Main fuse keeps blowing!

Maybe also chech the earth harness that has all the green wires. If that is corroded or loose it could also be causing your prob
