Been a while since I've been on.We had this storm last week that left me with no power or internet for 8 days! . I also couldn't get my bike out to ride because the roads were all blocked by down trees and electrical wires.So,Monday night I finally got out , had a great ride and when I got home the bike stalled in my driveway as I was opening the fence gate. It was the fuel pump fuse.It blew 2 years ago too and I thought it was kinda odd because the pump was new in November 2017 and only has 11,000 miles on it.I replaced the fuse and took it out last night and got 5 miles into my ride when the new fuse blew ! I replaced it on the side of the road went 1000 feet and it blew.Had to get this thing home so I put in a 10A fuse to see and it got me home so it's not a short. Any ideas why this would happen ? The pump was a Euro Moto Electrics replacement for the original pump and not cheap.When she is running she runs GREAT ! Can using a 10 or higher amp fuse hurt things?
