Sorted!!!

Well I took all the connections off the loom and started to have a look at each inividual part.
Everything was fine phisically and electrically.
I put it all back together with a new fuse and it worked.

I don't know what it was!!!:confused1:

I'm just glad it's working again

main fuse is meant to be 20A? is on my '97 600E. i replaced it with a circuit breaker from a lynx helicopter, now when it pops i just push it back in to reset.

Been following the post - voodoo and all.
There must have been a short else the fuse would never pop. What I have seen is that sometimes two wires are pressed very tightly against each other - thinning the insulation and you get the short. Once you checked all cabling you separated them apart - no more short.
Perhaps seat pressure on cable?
Or those gremlins ....

I would do the same - but there's never a Lynx around when you need one

I was given some resetable spade fuses by an automotive mechanic from Germany. So possibly available from an auto electrical supplier.
Might be easier than trying to find a chopper to pinch one off.

Check that your headlight, turn signals(front and rear) and rear brake light wires are not shorting out or making bad contact...

Did you place the battery terminals like they should be? (don't shoot me, it can be something that weird lol :confused1: ) or you could have switched the one of the 3 wires of the stator.. :confused1:

Never jump to end of a thread without reading the rest... I just saw you already solved it lol... :S

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
