: 954 Headlights Blowing fuses!!!

WTF?! I had my main harness replaced about 2 months ago and I'm starting to blow headlight fuses again. Anyone else have any electrical problems with the 954's
I swear this thing is the biggest piece of shit I ever owned (electrically).
The other night I was riding with a pack of about5-6 people and I had to let down a wheelie pretty rough and the headlight fuse popped. I replaced it and the next hard let down from a wheelie... popped again.
Tonight, after work, I was rolling out a stand-up and set it down coming up on traffic, the fuse headlight went off. When I went to change the fuse, the fuse was intact. I have no power to the headlight wires, none!
I have checked every inch of the harness to see if there was a pinch anywhere, nothing.
Is there ANYBODY who has experienced any electrical probs w/ their 954?
So far, the water pump went, the main harness fried, the steering headset is still fucked up from the factory directed mod, and the engine case is cracked below the head! What a testament to Honda quality!
(Thank God I still have the extended warranty.) 28,000 miles on her now!

I had some problems with my headlights also. As when your sitting on your bike. On the right side under the rear side panel there are some relays under there. I believe its the first one from the front goes with the headlight. You might want to check that. I blow mine an I had to take the relay out an got another one, as I was waiting for the other relay to show up. I just put jumps in there till I got it back.

Yeah I also blow the fuse also, then the lights would work then they would go out an then in a little bit they would come back on. They only blow the fuse once, then it went to my relay an then it finally went out. good luck man

Well, I took the thing to my shop this afternoon, it turns out that the right handlebar switch is bad. I put a "jumper" inline and that solved the problem. I have already called the dealer and they are going to order the switch on Monday.
I'm hoping this was the problem from day 1!
Thanks again for the input.
