Re: Hello from Canada...laid my bike down on a bad road.
The darn fuse has blown again and again, i just started another post in "general" outlining it. what would cause this to happen? is the fuse on the back-end/leftside of the starter relay? any thoughts?

Re: Hello from Canada...laid my bike down on a bad road.
Most likely that the shock you gave the bike has done some minor damage to a component or damaged a cable. I'd start by checking the wiring inch by inch. Don't forget, you may have to remove the tank (an easy job), and also check inside the headlight shell. The shock may have trapped/cut one of the cables. Don't forget to check the connectors. Keep us informed. :2tup:

Re: Hello from Canada...laid my bike down on a bad road.
i am wondering if it may be in the headlight, there is a bit of a scuff on the head light and right turn indicator light--there was before i dropped it too by i know they took a bash when i did. popping off the tank was no big deal but i am somewhat reluctant to remove the wiring from their cases...lest i should bugger it up even more. i keen to find out that it is just some loose wires, but this is frustrating and i am unable to find a description of what loads this fuse takes in the service manual. should it even be a 20 (large yellow) fuse?
do you think there i could have damaged the armature in the starter? i did this to a chop-saw/miter-saw once and it kept tripping my breakers. i could take a few photos if it would be of any help. |

Re: Hello from Canada...laid my bike down on a bad road.
My money is on the loose extra wire in the headlight bucket. Check in there first. Could be a wire has finally wore through the insulation due to vibration and the oops put it in a better position to cause grief.

Re: Hello from Canada...laid my bike down on a bad road.
Hello all!
So I took another look during my lunch break and ID'd my real problem. Turns out my little bump shifted a bundle of cable in reach of the chain--if on temporarily. The chain took a nice swing at my wires and boom, problem apparent. Here is a photo (mind my grubby paws), I'll be splicing and shrink wrapping this evening. Thanks again for all the help. This forumn is a godsend! And special thanks to my new friend from Yorkshire! GC
