Jeremy556 - Your post got me thinking a bit...
When i fixed my bike, i noticed that the R/R Output ties into the Fuse-B wire (thus system charging is done over this line). I'm thinking that its possible that the monitor wire issue may be the underlying cause for the Fuse-B pigtail burning up. Meaning too much current from R/R will begin to toast the weakest link. The Fuse-B pigtail issue may just be a side-effect, not a problem source. Anyone who made a beefed up Fuse-B pigtail may just be diverting the problem elsewhere.
FWIW I'll be doing my monitor wire ASAP. 
[edit] Which wire is the monitor wire? A search for "monitor wire" only returns 3 threads, none of which discuss the issue. |
I also think the burned up 30 amp fuse may be a side effect of over charging caused by the monitor wire.
This is the monitor wire. It is white/black or black/white. Be sure you get the connector coming from the R/R, there are connectors for the switchgear in the same area.
You can use a jeweler's screw driver to remove it from the connector and use a female disconnect to attach to your wire to the battery (or relay) to do the fix without any harness modifications.
