muffinman Posted October 18, 2007 #2 Posted October 18, 2007 Virgil I just looked at the wiring schematic on my puter and it shows the tailight in the circuit.Is the bike wired for a trailer? Jeff
BOO Posted October 19, 2007 #3 Posted October 19, 2007 I was have this problem with my RSV but maybe not as bad. If I had the running lights on and turned the lights on bright it would blow the fuse. I put a much larger fuse in but later I put a relay on the running lights like I should have in the beginning. I was going on a ride one morning about 4 am and as I was going around a curve I flipped the lights to bright and guess what I was in the dark, little scary but the guy behind me in a pickup panicked and jambed his brakes. He thought I had just vanished. Jerry
HIGHWAY PILOT Posted October 19, 2007 Author #4 Posted October 19, 2007 HEY GUYS, THANKS FOR YOUR PROMPT AND INFORMATIVE RESPONSE. I THINK I FOUND THE PROBLEM. MINE IS A 2nd GEN AND IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY, RIGHT BETWEEN THE TRIPPLE TREE AND THE GAS TANK ,THERES A GROUPING OF WIRES THAT GETS CRIMPED (BY WHAT LOOKS LIKE A METAL STOP FOR THE HANDLE BARS)ANY TIME YOU TURN THE HANDLE BARS.

Note to all 2nd gen owners. This is becoming a common problem on 2nd gens. I have fixed (2) 2nd gens with this same problem. Anytime you remove the light bar to remove the faring, there is a strong possibility of a wire being "pulled" down into this area and it is caused by the weoght of the light bar hanging down while working in the fairing area. Whenever you reinstall your light bar ALWAYS check for any wires that may have been pulled down into this area. When you turn the handlebar to the right...all the way right...the wires become pinched between the handle bar stop.. I had this same problem on my own 2nd gen, and I also fixed another 2nd gen at Vogel this summer..but forgot whos bike it was.. Next time I pull my fairing apart, I will take a couple photos of the wires in this area of the handle bar stop, and place the photos (and a write up) in the tech section for future refference.
