[ACE]

Well here's the story, about 1 month after I got the bike my turn signal indicator goes out. 2 days later my nuetral indicator goes out.  and well, you guessed it all my others go out too. well so i went to napa and bought some bulbs and they all go out again within a week!! UGH!!  :x it makes me so mad! My friend who's got an RC51 (electrician) says it my be "burning fuses"  :dunno: whatever that means?! And My bike has about 7800 miles, year 2000.

PLEAS HELP!

Sounds like the fuse is too high for the voltage and doesn't blow when it should and it would blow the bulbs before the fuse blowing.

That was just a guess.  Is that fuse the same as the stock one?  Might check that out. :dunno:

pretty sure it's stock i dont see any reason in the past for change

It sounds to me like your voltage regulator output is high.   The smallest bulbs in the system (indicator lights, natch) would be most sensitive to high voltage.  The spec for the regulated voltage is 13.4-15.5 @ 5000 rpm (Clymer 89-96, 297).  The GS has only one fuse, which is 20 amps.
