Re:Head Fuse Keeps Blowing??? 1 Year ago  
I'm suspicious of the tail light now? It was on it when I got it.

In the trouble shooting section look for a common denominator to each category, headlight, running/signal lights ect. Did you connect the kury's to the headlight power. When you say head fuse I assume you are talking about the headlight fuse.

The Kury Taillight were already on the bike when I got it. Not sure but assume they had to be connected to the head light fuse. I know it's sad, but I can't even figure out how to get in the taillight? lol

Don't know if my issue and resolving it will help, but here goes.

The previous owner of my bike had put a headlight in that was twice the amps recommended, and it was causing my fuse issues. The running lamps were also running off the same fuse. After wiring the running lamps separately and with a relay and changing the headlight bulb, all fuse issues were eliminated.

You may have something similar going on.

Judging from your sig picture I would say the your problem is in the fairing somewhere. It looks like you have a lot of electrical stuff in it so the chances are greater that it is in there.

You can plug in some numbers at the below link and see how many amps that circuit is drawing, based off your specific configuration. Like Ricohoc, I had to wire in a relay to eliminate my fuse blowing problem. Mine over amping came after installing a RTB module. Good luck, you'll get it.

I think it is a "Dead Short" It blows as soon as the key is turned on. I don't think it is something overloading the fuse?
