Thanku this helped me understand abit more =( was sooo confuseddddd b4 its working now indicator reconnected and new fuse jst ddrove for about 1 hour no problems YET Lols! but thanku again
Hope it's working out, these bikes are usually pretty problem free, so once you fix this problem you should probably be in for smooth sailing. I'd recommend a fresh oil change/filter since you just picked up the bike. Even if the guy says he changed it, you never really know.

you cant answer a question with another question
Hey erbilabuc, I have a question for you :icon_twisted:
Did you type and not use the space bar or punctuation, or is it my browser? :dunno_white:
To the OP.
Sounds like you're not really aware of what a fuse does! Its not there to just blow and annoy you. Its there to blow when there's a problem with your electrical system.
Rather than have your wiring burn out when there's a problem, the fuse blows (its the 'weak link' in the wiring). If a fuse blows and you replace it, and it blows again, that confirms you have a problem (probably a short circuit) somewhere. You need to track down and fix the problem before buying any more fuses. :thumb:
