Check your fuse... under the seat on the right side (while sitting on the bike)  :thumb:

There may also be an underlying problem that caused the fuse to blow, but thats the place to start  :thumb:

No... Just the one fuse :thumb:

I would check the battery area as well for shorts. Check the batt w/ a volt meter if you have one  :thumb:  Also check all the electrical connections.

Make any electrical changes lately?


A side note....

I had electrical trouble w/ the GS recently and somehow I had a fuse that checked good by eye and even w/ a meter but I replaced it anyway and it worked  :thumb:

ok i got it. it was the the part that the visible fuse is in on the right like where your leg goes. yeah there is a hidden fuse inside there and that happen to be the one that was blown

The visible one is the spare.

Hang out there, we may flame, but we don't hate.

My attitude is in serious need of readjustment, and I'm ok with that.
