Experienced my first main fuse meltdown today, but didn’t know about it before now.
Must admit I ignored the red charging light during my fast ride today, because I was so eager to blow some steam off on a curvy road just north of my home. Indian summer, low traffic, mountain area, clear blue sky, man and machine become one. Nothing could stop me. Not even a red light.
Well, at last it did.
It caused the low fuel indicator to fail, so I ran out of fuel in some rural area...
Later on the turn signal stopped working, and when the starter motor failed after filling fuel, I knew the battery was almost empty.
Thank god I had spare fuses with me. The fuse holder was also pretty melted, but managed to replace the 30A fuse. A friend of mine came along, lucky me! Of course he had jumper cables and a multimeter. He’s a Harley driver.
Can’t hardly wait to get the Greenie in the basement for winter, and start the big makeover.
An 30A circuit breaker sounds like a good idea:)
