Blowing the main fuse - 1981 Suzuki GS 550
« on: June 25, 2009, 07:32:02 PM »
My brother's got a 1981 Suzuki GS 550 that keeps blowing the main fuse.  Any ideas on how to approach this problem?

Yep, track down the short.

Agreed. The GS's biggest problems were the electrical components. Of ALL sizes.
