Hello,
My bike got caught out in a HUGE rain storm late one night a couple weeks ago. While it was pouring I tried to start the bike and i blew the main fuse. I then waited a couple days to let it dry out a bit and replaced the fuse -- the bike started and idled fine but then the fuse blew as soon as the bike started moving. I got it home and it has been parked for about three weeks.
I replaced the fuse and started it up yesterday -- again the fuse blew as soon as it started moving.
I'm assuming its a short somewhere in the wiring and that i should be able to track it down by cleaning up the wiring harness and checking all the connections. I was also going to replace the clip-in fuse holder with an in-line screw type fuse holder as well. There were zero electrical issues before the rain storm; although the wiring is a little mickey-mouse in places.
So my question is, am i on the right track or should i be worried about any larger electrical issues?
any help is appreciated -- as the weather is finally looking good I'd like to get out on the road this weekend...
thanks
