Busting 10A fuse after bike is warm

Post by wbmosier »

Hello. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this yes I am busting 10a fuses sometimes After the bike gets hot. But definitely after the bike gets hot it won't start. I hit the button and the starter does not even click . After I let it cool down and/or replace the fuse Depending on whether it blew or not, It will start right up no problem. 99VS1400GLP

Assuming it is the ignition fuse, check the wiring for chafed wires in that circuit. Pinched wires can easily occur under the seat. Also check all the connectors.

If this is the main fuse then the fuse is not big enough. It should be a 25A or 30A.

Have a close look at the fuse block, there should be an indication of circuits protected by each fuse, this will give you a place to start, As Hillsy said, the main fuse should be 25 amp. Have a look here for wiring schematics: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=lm&q=suzuki+i ... &ia=images
