So ive been doing alot of work on my bike lately, rebuild/cleaned carbs, new plugs, oil/filter, pulse generator, detailing... anyways i put my carbs back on yesterday and went to test fire it and i could not start it, i just put a new battery in and its putting out 12.7 volts.. so i check the main 30 amp and it was blown, replaced it and it blew again..

so what should i do now.. i am awful at wiring and electrical stuff so please help me..

 

Take off your front upper fairings and look to see if the main power lead (large red wire) is grounding out by the fairing stay. I know that my bike did at one time in it's life and someone jumped wires bypassing the fuse instead of actually fixing the problem. If that's not it, just look along your wiring to see if there is grounding going on elseware.

 

Check to make sure you have the battery cables on correctly and the positive cable is not touching part of the frame of anything metal.

 

well i just figured it out.. lol i dont even want to say what i did its so dumb.

..i put the battery in backwards and connected the positive to the negative and the negative to the positive..

yep i get the retard award for the ****ing year.

on a positive note all the cleaning and rebuilding i did has paid off it fired up instantly and idled with no choke just like its supposed to. thanks guys.

 

Good to hear!
