Title: Electrical problem v2.0
Post by kamekaze on 06/03/10 at 15:55:04

So after replacing a blown fuse to fix my last electrical problem I am left with an entirely new one. My bike will start and idle fine, but if I try to accelerate or turn on my headlights it will die.  Are there any common problems that would cause a malfunction like this?  Thanks for any help guys.

There is a liklyhood of a bare or exposed wire in the headlght which shorts out when th light is turned on; this is a fairly common problem on some bikes..seems the vibration rubs away the insulation; fortunately there is little vibration on a savage. ;D

That would cause the engine to die?

yes because the ignition(cdi) system relies on a constant voltage....
