electrical problem: lighting fuse

Post by desport2000@yahoo.com » Mon Jun 18, 2001 11:03 pm

My 1999 klr has blown it's 10 amp lighting fuse. I bought it used with 2500 miles on the clock. I've looked carefully for chaffed wire in the most obvious places. The lighting switches are not shorted. Have not removed the tank to look for a pinch. I could benefit from the collective experience of this group. I do have a schematic, and given a hundred years, could puzzle it out. My eye falls on the diodes on this electrical chart: are they ever a source of trouble? The machine is a joy to ride. The sudden kafroot of the headlamp seems equal parts disappointment and nostalgia for dim days spent cleaving the darkness aboard a Triumph Speed Twin. My eyes were better then. I've got my multimeter. Let's have light!

It's very common on the KLR. Lots of them go 'kafroot' at that fuse. it's part of the "kafrootignughen' designed into the bike, just like the contemporary styling and the incredibly strong front end. You might try putting in a circuit breaker or a plug connector fuse.

El Capitan, I'm running the "Quiet Core" with the 150 main jet and the pilot has been drilled. I don't know what size the stock jet is, but if you buy the kit you can play around with three different jets until you are happy with the combination. All included in the DynoJet kit from Fred at www.Arrowhead.com. Don't forget to get a K & N Filter too. Runs verrrrry nicely! Power increase is mighty noticeable.
