Sorry I haven't been around for a while, too busy riding, working and scoping out new "toys" for Suzi to spend all my hard earned money on, not to mention supposedly saving for a wedding. That's over now, I can't ride and here's why:
I have a gremlin in the electrics. It all started about 3 weeks ago. I blew the fuse (This is a 1978 GS750E with only 1 fuse, the 10amp main). I thought nothing of it, I replaced the fuse and went on riding. a week later, POP another fuse. Again, thought little of it and replaced it and rode on, 4 days later, POP again! still, I figure it's a loose wire under the side cover, I'll tape it later. Yesterday, POP, okay, it's time to fix it...tomorrow. Today, PIPPITY PIPPITY POPOPOPOP I went through 6 fuses today. Each getting closer to the previous. first, I lasted about 2 hrs, then 1 hr, then 40 minutes, then 30 minutes then I got to work. I taped up all the loose wires I could find, then on the way home, POP, pull over, replace fuse, curse like a sailor, get going, make it 2 miles then POP. Replace fuse, curse like a drunken sailor, turn the key on ka BOOOM backfire. fuse blows. Last f(*&#ing one. got a ride home, went out, jiggled wires, popped new fuse in, made it to parking space, came up here and wrote this. Here are my thoughts.
1. It's the electrical ignition, the bike is heating up, vibrating, and shakin the wire that was my problem last time to ground out.
2. Its the coils. The bike is heating up, a coil is temporarily loosing resistance, sending a large shock backwards.
3. I'm an idiot and should not workon nor ride bikes (this is a passing thought)
4. The whole wiring harness is goin in the dumpster, and I'm remounting the 1000 engine.
What do you guys think?? This is my commuter, so I need help ASAP THANKS ~Ben
