Hi my 2007 VFR800 is stored in a parking garage during the winter and recently it FINALLY warmed up here so I decided to get it out.
The bike was a little sluggish to start but fired up. I rode around my apartment complex for a few minutes, came back, checked the fluids, all looked good so off I went on a short ride.
I made it about 2.5 miles then at 40mph the bike lost power and died. I coasted to a nice parking lot and stopped safely. There I tried to crank but it cranked with no fire. Not long after, the battery was dead to the point it wouldn't crank.
Got the bike home and found a 20amp fuse under the tank blown, and battery was back to 12v. I replace the fuse and the bike fired back up. About 30 seconds later the 20amp VFRNESS fuse blew. At that point battery was dead again. I pulled the battery and its been on my NOCO GENIUS1 for the last 24 hrs. It started solid red, this afternoon its now flashing green (back to 75%)
Would a dead battery (low voltage) cause a bump in current enough to blow the fuses? I'm not thinking a short developed since the bike was last run in November.
First fuse that blew was the lower one, 2nd one was the upper vfrness one.
