blowing main fuse

<< < (2/2)

Lobo:
Hi again,

If you've had the bike in a trillion bits - ie everything - inc the various components / switches etc - are now beautifully clean / buttoned up by the book - then I'd be thinking your 40yr old loom might have a wee internal issue?

mike the bike:
And check where the alternator/neutral switch/oil pressure switch go into the engine.  Make sure the wires aren't chafed away by the casing.

david451:
The handle bar issues sounds just about right will try that first then work my way through all the components wiggle here and there and see if I can get it to blow again.

I meant to mention the wheeler dealer guys on tv endorse a fancy machine that the mot station has that removes all traces of carbon might be an option for my exhausts if you guys know anybody that chrome plates them.

I will post the fault when I find it, soon I hope.

Waggles:
My F1 did this a few times, I cleaned up the fusebox connectors etc and cleaned the ignition switch and it has been fine since.

In my case I am pretty sure it was the fuse box as there was signs of heat around the fuse.

david451:
Well I think I got it, the fault was as mentioned by the chap in the last post, a little corrosion around the fuse holder, the fuse had a poor connection it was getting hot and smoking, once I cleaned it it was fine. All of these were cleaned up nicely but the time it takes to restore they had corroded again.

Waiting on my registration doc to be returned and i'm ready to go. I bit the bullet and purchased new silencers from ds should get them next month. will hold onto the repaired ones at the minute just in case I can get them chromed.

Anybody had any success removing the baffles??
