My bike has been in the shop since yesterday afternoon and I am already suffering from withdrawal...
First the 20A ignition fuse (one of the small fuses in the fuse box) blew. The bike just quit while I was riding and the dash went dark.
I had enough momentum to pull safely (in front of my daughter's boyfriend residence, nice...)
At that point, the headlights were still on but no ignition. I replaced the ignition fuse. Then the 20A fuse next to the starter relay blew. It is the larger style.(the other one that blew up the first time did not blow up the second time, I guess they are in series). I disconnected the headlights and running lights (that's all I knew to disconnect without the service manual) but the big fuse blew again.
So I called the shop and they hauled my bike.
I won't know until Monday at the earliest.
It really sucks, so I am looking at a 2005 V-Max they have on consignment. It's not in great shape cosmetically but they say it's in decent shape mechanically and its cheap. My wife agrees that I probably need a backup bike, so I am not sure if I should wait until she changes her mind...
