Hi Guys,

It is not the battery. Going to try the fuse

Went out to buy fuses and you guys were right..It is the fuse.. I tried putting in not one but three fuses and they all sparked and blew out. I dont know about searching for wiring shortages so I am getting it towed to the nearest shop tomorrow (a.m). I will keep you guys posted on what they say. Thanks a million!

On the left side of the steering head, there is a rectangular metal hoop that retains a main wiring harness. The turning of the handlebars continually flexes the harness at this location and it's a common area where the wiring insulation wears through and causes a short. It happened on mine and was a simple repair. I just taped up the worn insulation an installed a $3 automotive harness cover.

Here is a photo. (sorry, not the best photo, but you get the idea.)

Check here first. It may save you some $$$. The lowest ribbed thing is the harness cover.

Good luck.

If it's not there, it also could be in the headlight bucket.
