dang wires!

[kat_kitten]

so, i'm riding home from work the other day... and as I go to switche lanes, I notice.." hey, my turn signals aren't working"... that's pretty craptastic (good thing they teach us hand signals!)... but then, my speedo and tac aren't registering either... oh frick!

i get home... check my fuses - my 15A signals blew. okay, easy fix... take out the spare, throw 'er in, start 'er back up... POP!.. fuse goes again... sumonabitch! now i'm out of fuses (and late for football practice).

so... i assumed that because i have a cracked turn signal lense (i know! i ordered new ones yesterday) that rain water got in there and blew the bulb, resulting in the demise of my fuses and sanity.

I rip out the connection, test 'er out... POP!.. oh crap... that was the extent of my electrical knowledge... so, i start fiddling, checking wires for melting and all that jazz... nothing!

the last wire to check was my other front turn signal... yeah, it was pinched... straighten'd 'er out, threw in a new fuse... TAAAH-DAHH!!!

yay for easy fixes!! (although i took the long way to figure it out... i'm a girl... we tend to wander about aimlessly... look at our shopping routines)

I suspect you are going to have problems there again.

I still think you figured it out faster then most of the men here..
Some of use would be installing jet kits or something by now..

I was going to suggest a wider tire, but it seems she got it figured out already.

Changing plugs or cleaning carbs to find the problem as well

that's not just a man thing... as i was chasing wires down the inside of my fairings... i was thinking to myself.. 'i could soooo just rip 'er all apart and paint 'er right now'
