RE: [ST] auxilary socket fuse

["Strizver, Chris L" <chris.l.strizver@xxxxxxxxx>]

You have a problem with either your vest/gloves, or with the bike's wiring
to the plug itself. For a vest to exceed the 10 amp fuse and blow it, it
would be producing somewheres around 120 Watts. I think you'd notice that!

I'd check your vest wiring. Take a resistance reading and see what you get.
Zero Ohms indicates a short in the vest. Does the jacket work for awhile,
then the fuse blows? If so, the wiring to the plug my be shorting with
vibrations. Take the left fairing off and inspect the plug's wiring, as far
back to the battery as possible.

If you have easy access to the wires from your jacket's plug, you could
dissassemble it and hard wire it to the battery. Of course, you'd do this
with a fused line available at any autoparts store for under $3. If that
fuse blows, you know its the jacket.

Subject: [ST] auxilary socket fuse


In the last week or so I have blown 2 fuses on the auxiliary socket fuse 
running a widder vest and gloves.  Has anyone else had a problem with this?

Is there a chance that they are drawing more than the 10 amps that the fuse 
can handle?

If so, has anyone replaced the fuse with a 15 amp?

Thoughts?

Cheers,
