Re: main fuse keeps blowin

Maybe you will get lucky and there will be a spark.. Take off the fairings and gas tank turn out the lights.

Wiggle **** till it does.. If its a main fuse there has to be a spark. Make it dark as hell and you will find it.

Re: main fuse keeps blowin

its prob. in ur ignition or something like that if u think about it power goes from battery to main fuse to ignition to fuse box and then out from there so if its blowin the main and not a bull **** other fuse then it def. is before the fuse box look for wires that might be running under the gas tank or seat if it only happens when u take off or stop it well more then likely be a pinch causeing a short to ground either by another wire or to tru ground remeber red is hot and red/blk or orango or orange/blk are ur switched hots power in to ignition is hot power out is switched hot look at these wires specifically

Re: main fuse keeps blowin

That's what I'd do, buy a bunch of fuses, start the bike up and start from the front to the back and just keep wiggling wires around. If it were me I'd try and leave as much **** in tact as possible b/c if you start moving stuff around it may move that wire just far enough so that when you do wiggle it that specific wire may not arc out.

Re: main fuse keeps blowin

I've seen a few streetfightered f4i's have some pretty worn wires coming from the ignition, definitely check those.

Hmmm, I thought $50 was a good price for a mint harness. I was watching them go for $75-$100 all day long and then I scored this one.
