Put in a bigger fuse. At least that is what my friend did for his system in his car.

Sounds like you have a simple wiring problem(bad ground or hot wire making its way to ground)chase that sucker back and see where it goes...Is the battery moving around?

DON'T put in a bigger fuse unless you want your bike to catch fire!!!!

There is definantly a problem there somewhere, most likely a short possibly causeed by a chafed wire. This is most likely the case if you haven't added any accesssories. Find the source of the problem then replace the fuse.

This is the worst thing you can do!!!

Bad advice!!!!

Look for chaffing on any and all wires,,,possibly contacting the frame or some othe metal componant. Around the steering stem,,,is a good spot to start looking.


As a rule, spray wd40 after every wash all over exposed wiring to help with moisture and chaffing.

Have you ever had water in your headlights? That is what caused my Wolverine to keep blowing fuses. The light terminal had corroded and caused a short. Put a fuse in and start jiggling a few wires at a time to se what may be causing your problem. Hope this helps

Check that you are in an appropriate sub forum(Honda, General, etc.) for your question. There will be a "New Topic" button at the top left. Same place the "Post Reply" button is if you are in a thread already.
