I keep telling myself that big boys don't cry...
I have a 2009 Burgie 650 Exec. The initial problem I had was that my battery would run dead and the bike would die. Originally I thought the issue was the alternator (magneto) but after reading this forum, I discovered the issue was more likely to be the regulator.
So after cutting up my hands on the tupperware, replacing the regulator, I foolishly put the bike all back together before lastly hooking up the battery.
As soon as I connected the battery I heard a zap and the bike was dead. Upon further review, I found the main fuse blown. I replaced it and zap it was blown too. I then attempted to disconnect the battery, replace the fuse and hooking up the battery again and zap. Now I'm down to two more good fuses and looking for advise.
My thought is that the new regulator isn't the issue because I can't even get to the ignition switch, the fuse blows before I can put in the key, but I'm not an electrical guru, so I'm not ruling it out either.
Can one of you brainiacs help?
Thanks in advance! I'm going to go get a cigarette and a beer and await your words of wisdom. A free fishing trip in the Keys to my savior...
