Sounds like while the bike is in motion, its touching something its not supposed to causing it to blow.

(negative touching positive) vise versa


because if its while idling and it works fine. then there shouldn't be aproblem

Try leaving the bike idle for about 10-15 minutes. see if it blows

ride up on down the street to see if it blows

All you'll get by leaving it idling for fifteen minutes is overheating. What do you mean by 'blow'? Have you checked that the bulb is seated properly? Try changing out the bulb first, otherwise you may have a short in the switchgear on the handlebar. Good used parts are plentiful:
