    Blown fuse 2 again , also plate light , so replaced fuse and bulb .
    Turned key on , engine check light on and bike won't start.
    All the fuse 2 parts work , headlight/high beam / low beam , horn , brake light , plate light but bike only turns over .
    So take fuse 2 out and bike starts and engine check light goes out.
    I can't remember this happening last time.
    My auto electrician charged me $700nz and wasn't even sure what he had done to fix problem apart from open loom up rear and middle of bike and move a few wires around
    Damn frustrating

    :thumbsdown:.

    Wonder if it could have been a short in the loom someplace and by moving the wires around was lucky enough to relocate any bare wire from contacting other wire/frame.

    Found it! Bloody crap engineering / wiring route
    I'll post pics tommorrow but you were right LED .
    The loom had rubbed through between subframe and fuel tank
    Behind red plastic .
    The wires were of course the number plate bulb.
    Could only just move loom enough to see rub mark.
    Weird that bike wouldn't start but lights worked , great safety feature I suppose.
    Not an easy fix but not impossible.
    I'm pissed off that my sparky didn't look hard enough 15 months ago.
    This was the problem all along.
