    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Can anyone give me any ideas, I have gone through my electrical with a fine tooth comb, but cant seem to find the problem, The problem Im having is I turn the ignition to on, and the headlight fuse blows, If I put a 15 amp fuse inplace of the 10 amp, then the main 15 amp blows, sounds like a direct short, but heck if I can find It. If anyone has any Ideas of what it might be, please let me know. Thanks. Judd
 
You tested the rectifier and stator outputs? I bet you are getting too high a voltage. Happened to my 650G, and took a rectifier to fix.

The good news: damn near any rectifier from a big bike will work.
 
DJ -- it sounds like the bike isn't even running when the fuse blows (it blows as soon as he turns the key), so could it still be a R/R problem? I guess you could get a short through there if it really went kerblooey.
 
If it blows the light fuse the problem is in the lights. CHECK all of the lights, unplug them, plug them in one at a time until the fuse blows DON"T use a bigger fuse. It could also be the light switch or the turn signal switch, turn signal module if equiped. I would NOT suspect the reg at this time

Oops, missed that. I thought it started, then blew. Gotta read more closely.
 
:D On the road again! Thanks for your suggestions. I ended up using a power probe, and was able to pin point the problem, It ended up being the speedometer display light power wire was pinched just behind the back plate of the speedometer. JJudd.
