2007 F650GS (Single) Keeps Blowing Fuse
I'm not sure where to start looking for this problem. I hope someone here has some hints and tips to get me started.
The bike was working fine. I was riding at about 125km/h when the tachometer and speedometer suddenly dropped to zero. The bike kept running but there were no lights in the dash and no turn signals. The headlight and tail light both still worked, as did the starter and horn.
I found a blown 7.5A fuse and replaced it and everything came back up. I left the bike for 30 minutes and turned the ignition switch to on when I returned. I noticed no lights in the dash and tested the turn signals. They weren't working again. I had not started the bike yet, just turned the key to on. Not wanting to waste another fuse and having a ferry to catch I drove home with no other problems aside from some nervous moments around police cars, not knowing how fast I was going :-)
Any ideas where I might start looking? I can only assume that something is shorting out since the fuse blew without the bike even running. Also, I found that the brake light was constantly on. Am I wrong in assuming that this shouldn't have anything to do with the fuse blowing? ...it's on a different circuit and that fuse was intact.
Thanks for any help.
