the main fuse... also the green plug under the tank that can cause electrical power loss

That fuse is located next to the rectifier, right? You can check for a ground fault by disconnecting your negative terminal then use a volt meter (one lead to the negative terminal and the other to the main frame of the bike). If you get a voltage reading you have a wire grounding out. Check that fuse first though. Your key will need to be in the On position to test this.

Glad to see it was only a blown fuse on Bro's bike. Tracking down wiring problems suck.

There was a chap on the forum last year who has brand new looms for both carbed and injected Srad.
Im sure if you posted in the wanted section 1 would turn up and his price was really good.
A new loom in GB would be way to expensive.. If I were running an srad engine I would have purchased a loom because the day will come and they will be like hens teeth.

i think with time i could just about rebuild any loom if it had most the plugs.. actually would love if warren sent me a dead loom or 2 for me to check out..

Would you not want to change the plugs? They are the weak link IMHO

I have a dead ish 750 carb loom that I want to try and re-make but the cost would be huge if I wanted to change the plugs too

hmmm plugs can be re pinned... the pins are the weakest link... i am also a fan of cutting out the extra wire in looms!! why the big manufactures not make engine/ecu as one loom and the lighting loom as a second loom. so racers could just take off the bits they not want... but then again i guess they couldnt sell the factory race looms for heart stopping prices.

Yeah, I thought the same thing when homeboy found it was the fuse. They don't blow for no reason. Has to be a short or something drawing to many amps. That 30A fuse would most likely be something to do with the ignition if the bike was running when the fuse blew. Any suggestions? I'm interested in what you think, I'm learning myself.
