i've been searching for 2 hours and haven't found anyone else that has had this problem:
2000 kat600; 6850 miles
riding today, doing about 60, and the bike dies. all electrical systems (lights, gauges, indicator lights)work except the button starter. it's completely dead. finally get the bike home, check the fuses, blown ignition fuse. problem solved. bike starts.
start the bike again to move it, same thing happens--bike dies, button dead, light plume of smoke rises from under the front of the gas tank. all other electical systems fine.
check the fuse, blown again.
Q. does this sound like a wiring problem? if so, what wire would likely be the culprit?
i've checked all the wiring under the tank and it looks fine. stumped on this one.
