Hi folks, spent the last few months getting my babe in shape for the summer season.
Changed the whole wiring harness and headlamp harness.
Given I am no electrics expert I was quite surprised to see my lights and horn work properly (ignition on, engine off).
Today went for the first ride after months (will post pics later this week!). all good. bike running smoothly. actually, running supergreat!.
Then, after 20 miles or so I decide to turn my lights on (switching ignition key to 'light' position with light switch on headlamp 'off') -> immediately fuse blows, bike stops.
Put a new fuse in (light off this time!) and ride back home with no probs.
Can someone tell me how I check what I need to fix? Please do consider I know zero nothing about electrics, but I own a multimeter (but not sure how to use it...), so be patient with me, and ideally give me explanations like you're talking to your wife... (eheheh)
