2016 Hyosung GV125 Main fuse blowing

[AC94]

Good afternoon gents/ladies,

I have a Hyosung GV125 Aquila that keeps blowing the main fuse whenever I turn the lights on. I've tested the hot side && the ground side of the harness and my results are reading 12.43 VDC. I feel like I'm stuck...any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

suggestions? there's this new website called "google", punching in a few key words will yield acres of results. i suggest you give that a go.
there's also a fully functional search feature on this very site. see if you can spot it.

also if the "treasures" are chafing you, try "huggies"

Try a bigger fuse ... have you checked the fuses were the correct ones .. ??

I tried Google and the search feature on the site. There obviously weren't any answers to my question so I resorted to creating this thread. Thanks and goodbye.

Tried a bigger fuse and the bike didn't get any electrical power.

BTW, Google is not a "website" and it's far from "new." First of all, It's a search engine. Secondly, it was most definitely founded in 1998.

a shame your knowledge of automotive electrics is almost as good as your knowledge of "words for internet things"

thanks. and GOODBYE CRUEL WORLD

o right.

that was unclear from your first post, since you didn't say "i've searched for XYZ and tried doing A through Q so this is probably the first time anyone on the planet has experienced the problem i'm having, do i need to phone guinness world records now? anyone who can solve THIS puppy must be a god among men"

@odd duck, i forbid you posting in this thread yet.

Another thread started by someone looking for help, totally fucked by our resident non motorcycling moron! Fortunately, we are not all hillbilly fucktards on this site AC94, ignore the troll!

Keep the fuse ... and change the bike.

Win win ...

@akzle: I'm flattered, but now guess what... I've got to.

AC94: You've got a short in the wiring loom. It's easy to fix, it's not so easy to sort the consequences if it's fried anything, and it'll be a pig to find. Welcome to motorcycle electrical hell.

What's happening is that somewhere on the positive side of the wiring between battery and headlight, the insulation has been worn away or failed. This is letting copper conductor touch frame, bodywork, or if things are really shit, the adjacent ground wire insulation has failed too and the two wires are shorting together.

When this happens, 12 V is being applied to wiring loom plus whatever contact resistance the short has. Result: it's pulling lots of amps and this high electrical current is blowing the fuse.

The fuse is supposed to blow. By failing, it's protecting other bits of your bike from getting melted, fried, welded, catching fire etc. So if you've got blowing fuses, sort out why instead of just bridging the fuse with a paperclip or something.

As to finding the bloody thing... some suggestions:

- get wiring diagram, start tracing lines, you know it's on the headlight so there's no need to check wiring for indicators or rear lamp etc
- visual check (especially where wire flexes), look for damage or flash marks
- visual check on frame, bodywork etc, go looking for shiny metal where wiring has been flexing against frame, look for flash marks
- set bike up in lockable working area and start taking bits off to get better access
- completely remove relevant wiring harness from bike, get this onto a benchtop, and go over it in fine detail
- etc etc.

Unfortunately the only way you can find it is to go looking for it.

Once found, Jaycar will do heatshrink tubing in both adhesive lined (against weather) or single wall (can be taken off again if necessary), cable ties to secure wiring, spiral wrap to armour cable bundles, or you can use electrical tape for all of these if you don't mind a crappy repair.

If you're not technical and don't find it early and easy, ask yourself very seriously if you want to go further - and who you've got around you to ask for help.

Failing that, an experienced bike mechanic will likely know exactly where to go looking to find the fault.

Good luck, unfortunately dealing with issues like this is all part of the experience.
