(FXR150) I was riding, popped a fuse, bike would not start again (not even push start, best I got was dash lights, no numbers, and about 3 fires of the piston). Replaced fuse, still no start.
Have I blown a wire or something? Alternator? Spark plug wire dead?
Cheers guys, any help mucho appreciado.

Does the dash work as normal?
Goes through the start up sequence, trip meter etc?

Indicators run when key is switched on?

Running low on fuel / tap switched off?

Old spark plug?

Kill switch on or dirty?

If you kick the engine over, do the head lights them turn on?

Hmm, I've not suffered any problems with my bike.

Been thinking some more...

Didn't you take the dash off your bike last year because I remember you lost your triple clamp?

I think the CDI thingy directly powers the Dash. My theory is you should have look around the front and check for lose connections. That might be the problem.

All the best.

Cheers 'Pony, found out what the problem was. Blown fuse in the back, which I had just replaced. Replaced it, and it blew again - aha! Shorting somewhere. Found the rip in the horn wire about 30m later... Sorted.
Now to fit the new fairings...
