I jumped off another bike and mine blows fuses

Stevetillis · 10-02-2011, 09:55 PM

I let my son use my 2006 Dyna Harley to jump his Suzuki bike off and now my bike keeps blowing main 40 amp fuse Changed battery out but still blows fuse. Don't know if he reversed cables from jump. Bike only has 2500 miles on it, recent new battery. Any help appreciated.....

Blowing the main fuse usually means a bad short. Check to be sure the main positive cable isn't grounding out on the frame or engine.

Thanks. I checked both and they appear to be fine. Bike is farely new. Will check again. Was running fine before jump. I guess the jump could have shorted out one of the main cables
