Fuse blown mid ride??

Post by Carloslfc85 » Mon Mar 27, 2023 6:28 pm

Hi its my first post in here hopefully looking for some advise. So I got her out yesterday after being stored for the last 6month nice ride around the moors 45min into the ride she totally died. Luckily I had a flat driver found the fuse had blown. Nothing worked. So I put a new fuse on and soon as turn the key bang another fuse. So I got recovery home. And going to dive into it any advise would be appreciated. Its soon as I turn the key. And never had a problem for the last 3 years??? And it did it mid ride. Thanks

The 12 volt 90 will run without the battery, to stop the engine the key earths the feed , so this is probably where the fault lies. If you have a multimeter check the live feed from the batttery to earth and then the switch wires in the headlight.
