KLR rider coming back from Mexico/Belize/Guatemala will be at my house around 1 PM or so today and has this puzzle to solve:
"I wanted to see if you could help me track down a short in one of my wires for my headlight. My headlight went out and I thought I blew a fuse. So I replaced the fuse under the seat. Then a few hours later it blew again. When I went to put a new fuse in, It blew the fuse as I was putting it in. I'm pretty sure that tells me that there is a wire grounding on something. I took the seat off and checked all those wires and could not find anything, but did not have time to pull the tank and the shroud."
It's an 08 KLR. I don't know my way around a multi-meter to save my bacon, other than that disclosure, any of you have any ideas other than to take the bike to the local Kawi dealer?
He needs to be gone very early in the AM for home so we only have half a day to solve this one
If you're interested in their ride report, here it is linky
