Okay so the bike when i got it didnt have any rear signals on it and i purchased some off the internet fro bikers planet. went to wire them up and after blowing numerous fuses finally got it working smoothly.... or so I thought. Everything worked great. all blinkers worked together. so fron and back blinkers were in sync. I have a couple of questions since I am new to riding crotch rockets. does the blinkers on the dash always stay lit ? until you use a signal and then it blinks? The other question is as soon as i start riding or shortly after I start riding The same god D$%! fuse blows and all my guages go out and my blinkers go out. what is going on? I dont think I have any bare wire and my ground is good. I need help does anyone have anything similar happening? HELP it gets annoying when you start riding and your going around 75 or so and all guages go dead because of a fuse. and then you have no blinkers.

 

Hey this happened to me... last week I put on new aftermarket front signals... they work fine for the first few hours, then suddenly blew out the fuse when i hit the signal button and was doing 80 on the highway too....

Idk how to fix it....., so I just dont use the signal anymore, or i just use my hands if i really have to

 

So its nice to know that someone had the same problem. I dont know if its the aftermarket blinkers or what but its pissing me off since I didnt want stock blinkers hence me buying aftermarket. I thought it was a wire problem but not sure since i cut back the wire I thought it might be and everything was cool till i got on the road and it blew the fuse again. I have been through atleast 16 fuses. they blew so easily and why I dont know.

 

what blinkers are you using? do you have a link to product description or auction you won?

 

i5motorcycle store off ebay

brand new pair of CATEYE TURN SIGNALS.
To fit Honda CBR (all models).
High impact ABS with CARBON finish, CLEAR lense & AMBER bulbs.
These 2-wire single filament signals can be used on the front or rear.

 

dude trust me im pretty sure its the signals..... every single time you hit the signal button your bike just stops, gauges go to zero... nothing right???
yea.

Sorry brah idk how to fix it, but all i can tell you is since I figured out that it was the fuse blowing, i havent hit the button once and have not had a problem .....
o and i have the carbon three wire ones amber bulb dual filament, etc same description, with the running light, thats the only reason why i kept them on because of the running lights

 

well mine will stay on and i can use them for a bit its not immediatley when i hit the switch its after i go down the raod. I can hit the switch back and forth while its parked and idling and the fuse doesnt blow . freaking wierd man. finicky

 

thats how mine is... parked fine i can hit the signals... they work... when im riding and if i hit it, it will pop a fuse...... sounds like we have the same problem (cheap aftermarket signals) idk how to fix it and my only advice is using your hands or no signals at all like i do. good luck

 

definitely not the safe thing to do. do you have the stock turn signals lying around? if so try runnin them and see if the fuse blows.

 

no it didnt have the stock on it when i bought it.
