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.

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:
