Hi Everyone, this is my first post! New to me bike and my first XS650 keeps blowing the main fuse.
Bike has not been ran consistently in about a year the PO said that it sometimes would blow the main fuse. I got it home and went through it and finally got the point to try and get it running.
The first couple of times it started then died. About the 3rd try as soon as I hit the start button the fuse blew. I installed a new one, it cranked, idled for about 30 seconds and the fuse blew. this happened two more times. The last time it blew it happened as I turned the key into the on position. I'm not sure where to go from here. The cables in the start switch were frayed I'm waiting on a new one a new assembly to arrive, I'm hoping that was the cause. There is a cable on the right hand side, near the main fuse, that appeared to be cut and I cant for the life of me figure out what it should be connected to. see attached picture. I looked at a wiring diagram and I think its comes from to the main switch L position but I cant see where its supposed to connect. Its a blue cable with a red stripe.
Can anyone tell me what attaches here?
