Blown Fuse

My dale keeps blowing fuses. I trued putting higher amped fuse but still no luck. I can't get it to blow a fuse when troubleshooting. Only does it during races

. I was hoping someone could give me a good idea of where to look. I checked the battery connections. FYI I just recently put a wiring harness of of another bike recently, so it could be anywhere, but like I said I looked it over pretty good and found obvious problems....

Thanks

Measure the amperage your fuel pump and cooling fans are using . Did the harness you have in it before do the same thing?

I had a one of the oldest versions of wiring harness before, and suddenly the bike would not run at above an idle, for more info search this post using my user name..... Anyhow the symptoms are not the same, but kind of similar, I will try as you ask....

Thanks

I wonder if on your old harness was the diode update in it?If not ECU could be damaged.Do what Wistech said also look at those little wires on fuel pump to see they arent wore through from rubbing on frame.Your fuel pump isnt running all the time?Your using a Pingle Kill switch?

Not running above idle might be a bad tps . Easy to check with a d@m .

I believe that issue is fixed with new harness but now he blows fuses.Is that right?

Old Harness did not have the diode update, however I purchased a different solenoid from NAPA per R&S Performance recommendation, and that solenoid had a diode in it. Plus, the ECU (I thought) does not really deal with high voltage directly, so how could a damaged ECU blow fuses? I am gonna check amperage this weekend by the way, what kind of reading should I expect?

That Is Correct!
