    My headlight fuses keeps blowing every time I start the bike up. I have jumped the headlight relay just Incase that was bad but it still blows. I have checked the wires all seems ok nothing is grounding out. The handlebar switch is fine the wires are in great condition I have exhausted all avenues any advice would be greatly appreciative

    I thought it was the start button but further investigation It was the AUX lead touching the handlebars and shorting out the headlight fuse. I haven’t got the AUX light in now I got the 7 inch round light so I just cut and taped the leads and I won’t be having this

    fold over the wire and put some heat shrink on it.
