ActionStarCBRxx Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I have a short somewhere on my bike. It fried my master fuse link. In order to get at the fuse I had to use a screw driver to pry apart the connectors (top cap with fuse from bottom). Since it was semi melted and brittle I ruined the top/cap/lid and the plastic separating the four wires. I don't see this part separate in the micro fiche at Ron Ayers.com. It looks like they want you to buy the whole wiring harness. RonAyers.com I know I can buy a new wiring harness from the dealer, or a used one from ebay for half the price. Do you think if I had enough of a short to cook the master fuse that I should be worrying about the wire integrity and should opt for a new harness? Or would a used harness work or just buy a used and cut the master fuse off and wire it in place using soldier? Does anyone have a butchered harness here on the CBR forum that still has the master fuse? I don't know the cause of the short yet. I suspect it may be the dash lights as they have been blinking on and off for a month now and finally no longer come on. I pulled the fairings yesterday after work and will start trying to hunt down the cause. Edit for picture of master fuse Thanks!

HANKSXXX Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Are you referring to the red connector with 4 wires in the area of the starter relay? Same bike in your info, a 97? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ActionStarCBRxx Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 I should have specified I had a 97. It has a red cap/top on it. It's the fusable link between the battery and the starter. In the link to RonAyers its would be where the 20 amp fuse for #27 goes. I think there are six wires total... two in the bottom part of the plug and four in the top half? I don't have it in front of me. I will have my wife send me a picture and I will post it.

HANKSXXX Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 The Ron Ayers link you supplied was for a 99 but I saw you had a 97...that's why I asked. Partsguy (Al) cut a connector off a spare harness he had for me, perhaps luckily, not that one. Not sure if he posts here but I know he's on the "Premier" board. Try getting in touch with him and see if he still has it... Hank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
