Just started doing this, when I shift my AC 500 Auto into reverse, it blows the 10 amp ignition fuse?

Any idea what's causing this????

Upon further review, it appears to blow the ignition fuse when you turn the handlebars all the way hard left. I'm in the process of taking the cover off the speedo to see if it is pulling a wire tight or maybe a wire is loose in there.

 

I would pull the gas tank and look where the front
of the tank was for a damaged wire shorting to the frame or column since the fuse is blowing. An open wire should not blow the fuse.

 

We pulled the speedo & indicator lights cover & discovered that the 3-wire harness going to the key switch was wound around the speedo cable & when turned hard left it pulled the harness so tight you could play a tune on the wires. We inspected all the wires & found no damage or problems so we put it back together with slack in the wires & never blew another fuse. Hope this fixed it for good.
