Hi,
I rode my heritage from Austin TX to Los Alamos NM. When I was up there I washed the bike and when I went to move it the bike was dead. I turned the ignition to off and then on again and it started and I rode it no problem. I didn't ride it for 3 days and when I went to start it next it was completely dead. I used an meter and traced the fault to the maxi fuse which I replaced. I drove no problem. Then I hit some really bad weather on the way home so I pulled over and hunkered down in an old Post Office. When I tried to start the bike it was dead and every time I tried to replace the maxifuse it sparks and then the fuse blows. Battery is testing ok at least voltage wise 12.3 volts. When I put the meter on OMS and connect the leads one to each blade in the maxifuse holder the needle pegs sharply. I have no power anywhere just like the bike has no battery. Bad VR? Bad Stator? HELP!!!
