The short was under the seat from the bolt in the back of the seat. I have always thought that was a stupid bolt. I got rid of it on my 2002 when I got the gel seat. Oh well. my bike is running again. I got up to 87 today on the highway.

My fuse blowing problem was a PARTIALLY connected connector under the tank. Press the connectors in to make sure they are fully connected. Just be careful not to drop the tank in the process like I did, ouch, now I have a small dent I covered with a "bra".

Apparently the tanks on these bikes are pretty slippery. The old man I bought my 87 from blamed both dents on mine on dropping the tank while fixing something else.

Didn't help much that my first work on it was changing bars, and I dropped the old bars on the tank and made a 4" scratch. Oh well... I really wanted mine black instead of purple anyway, and I've got the black epoxy and spray equipment to make it happen when I get a round toit.

BTW, Short Round... I like your part of the country, and was raised in NW Ark from age 5-15 down near Eureka Springs. Beautiful riding country.

Regards,

John

Yeah! you back on the road - do yourself a favor and encase the wire looms in split spiral wrap at some point

I'll google it and see what I come up with. They told me they put heat shrinking around the wires. I didn't ask the color of the wire. I'm glad someone understands the wiring diagram.

Posts: 35 Riverdale, Utah Gender:	Re: Blowing a fuse Reply #22 - 09/05/06 at 14:56:45 My bike (97') did the same thing but it was after installing new turn signals http://www.jpcycles.com/productdetail.aspx?PID=3300465&cs=Vintage&GID=CD46AC4.... I rode it for awhile and then my brother-in-law took it out for a spin. He hit the turn signal and the bike died. It was a blown fuse. Any ideas why?
