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.

Have you checked the reg?
I dont realy know much about this stuff but Boxer is good with it so he may be of some help to you.

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???

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?

As dave said check ya solinoid 1st use to blow em on my blade.

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. :banghead

wire in a circuit breaker ...........
sounds like a wireing fault to me, have u found when it happens?
like when the bike gets hot ie thermo fan!!!

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
