dt502001 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 If fuses keep blowing then the postive feed is grounded befor the lights,you need to look at the wireing and find where it is rubed through or possibly the key switch is bad ,,most likely it a rubed wire though. Edit if the bulbs have all blown then check the grounding circut of the dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamjay90 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 Everything works when bikes not running but as soon as u start bike it blows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slice Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Check your voltage output to see if your regulator is working, it should output about 14.5 to 16 volts, any more and it's cooking the wiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt502001 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Ok then as Slice said check the out put,but before you do that just put a new fuse in and turn the key on for 10 min if it blows then look at the wireing harness Edit if the voltage reg was over charging you should have blown head light and tail ight as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamjay90 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 Thanks for advice guys I put a new fuse in and it just melted it befor I even started the bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt502001 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 so you have a bad power wire grounded out befor the dash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YPVS TONE Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Did the fuse blow before you turned on the igition switch? If so as dt502001 has said check the main Red lead going to the battery to make sure it hasn't worn through and touching earth. If it only happens when you turn on the ignition switch you need to check for shorts on the Brown wire from ignition switch. You may have to lift the tank too check the wiring and also check any wiring around the headstock area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamjay90 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 I will remove tank tomorrow and check wires should there be 3 wires running of the negative terminal of bat and only one from positive as I have never come across this with any ov my other bikes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YPVS TONE Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) There is usually just the one Positive Red lead and one Negative Black lead coming off the battery. Edited December 9, 2013 by YPVS TONE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamjay90 Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 That's what a thaught might take other 2 earths of see if that cures a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt502001 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Unless your chasing other problems than the dash lights removing the grounds wont help at all,the blowing of the fuse is caused by the circut pulling too much power.Re read what we have told you and do it if you want to find the problem. Extra grounds could be for assesories ie heated grips,if you dont know what they are for then trace them back to where they go befor disconnecting them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamjay90 Posted December 16, 2013 Author Share Posted December 16, 2013 Thanks for advice guy the problem is solved now it was a chafed horn wire that was touching the chassis taped it up and everything works again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
