You have a short circuit in the positive wire somewhere between the fuse box and the light. It apparently has a break in the insulation or a bare spot where the insulation has worn through allowing it to ground out somewhere along the way. The most likely point of damage is at the front fork.

SOURCE: electrical wiring short troubleshooting

You almost certainly have a bad coonnection somewhere, have a look behind the headlight to start with. Really, you need to do some electrical fault finding with a multi tester. Try to pin point exactly when the fuse is blowing - ie when u switch something on, or when you start up..... Some times the tank of these can rub o hole in the wiring loom underneath - check there. There are many electrical `potential` probs with gs`s but they can be rectified. Try the GSRESOURCE site for more assistance.

Have your voltage regulator checked a bad regulator will blow big fuses like a 30amp, hope this helps.

1996 Suzuki GSX 750 F (Katana) main fuse keeps blowing

Hello, I'd check for a short along the wire to the frame. Also, it's rare that the starter solenoid could be shorted. Use a multimeter on ohms to ring out the wire(s) that activate the solenoid. There should be low resistance for the solenoid, but it should not be zero or .1 ohms.

I have a 2003 Suzuki Volusia that blows the 15 amp ignition fuse randomly.Can go weeks without a problem then it will blow. I replace it and it is fine or other times it blows repeatedly.

Wendy, Check the starters wiring circuit for a pinched/bare/damaged wire. Check the attached links,instruction and guides,good info. to trouble shoot your problem. Good luck

Lights keep blowing the fuse

You can pull the light apart and check the amperage they require since they are not the factory headlights they most likely have a higher amp requirement and find out what that is and then install the proper required fuse for them. Also be sure to check and see if the wires are properly hooked up and wrapped properly and are not grounding out on any metal or other wires. This should solve your problems. Might also want to see if the headlight relay is also the proper one to cover the amps they require as well. Hope this works for u and good luck

As soon as I start the gs500f a 20 amp fuse blows and I have no electrical power and the engine also shuts off

Sounds like time to remove the fareings, gas tank and seat.
There may be a loose somewhere on the bike. Remove the seat and gas tank to gain access to the wiring harness. Get a volt Ohmmeter as you may need to check continuity at various points. Start at the battery, then the fuses and the wires connecting to the fuses. Inspect for burned wires, abraded wires, loose and/or dirty connections, bad connectors and loose wires. This means the mass of wires inside the headlight must also be inspected. Check the handlebar kill switch and the side stand kill switch as well. Go all the way to the ignition system. Check the key switch. Put it on "run" and check for power through the switch as you jiggle the wires. A spark can blow a fuse. A hot wire thst is going to ground due to an abraided wire will blow a fuse. a bad electrical part like a shorted horn, headlight or switch can blow a fuse. Find the bad connection and you should be able to fix it.

Put new handle bars on and then after hooking everything back up the signal lights and also tail lights will not work??

Sounds like you have a blown fuse. Check the fuses. Chances are that when installing the new bars a hot wire got pinched or abraded and has grounded causing a blown fuse. If a new fuse blows right away, that would be the cause. Other things that would cause the lack of lights would be wires hooked up incorrectly, a wire not hooked up at all, a broken wire or a loose or dirty connection. If the new fuse blows you will need to find the problem. If the wires run inside the handlebars the entry and exit points for the wires are likely areas for abrasion and pinched wires.

A “very helpful” rating for this answer? Thanks!
