Hey there K-people!
Just wanted to drop a quick intro. I'm Adrian, currently living in Austin Texas. At the beginning of the year I got my first K-bike, a 1992 K75RS. I know this may be a little sacrilege but I'm currently turning it into a cafe/tracker project. I've stripped the bike completely down and now I'm starting to build it back up. The past several weeks have been spent shortening the frame, building a new seat pan, all new lights/indicators, and a new control cluster.
I'm actually bumping up with a little wiring issue - electrical is my kryptonite! I've got everything pretty happy except that now I'm blowing the #3 fuse when I try to use my turn signals.
I tested, and retested each item as I put it on the bike with no issue. Then, predictably, after reassembling everything this issue cropped up. I've ordered replacement flasher relay and bulb monitor unit which I'm guessing may be the primary issue. My worry is that there is a deeper issue that will fry the new unit(s) as well.
I had hope to post this in the electrical section but I guess I don't have enough status being a noob.
Let me know if you have any hints.
Thanks!
