Ok so i think i figured out what the problem with my speedo is....some one put a 15 fuse in the accessories possition which requires a 7.5, some how I didn't not notice that untill today, so i went to my local rice burner shop and bought some 7.5s i put one in and turned the key, i saw the neutral and check oil light flash and then the fuse blew. i tryed a second one and same thing any ideas why this is? thanks.

Sounds to me like a bad ground. Check your wiring for any exposed wires that could be touching something it's not supposed to. Also check your bikes ground points. The reason someone would put a 15 in a 7.5 fuse slot is because they were probably overriding the wiring problem you have. Should be a simple fix with some liquid electric tape if it is an exposed wire. The hard part may be finding the exposed wire.

Chwck your main grounds first - they can get loose.

i was looking at my bike and all those wires are tangled and I can't see any damage, also my book doesn't tell me were the ground is located so i couldn't check that could someone explain to me were they are/how i get to them.

There is one ground by the battery, and one on the left by the front Isolator - it is in the manual with pictures - see my group for specifics -

weve figured it out! the front blinkers were splised and covered in duck tape and that was slowly failing. and also if you didnt notice in the pictures of my bike the head lights and blinkers were replacements and the bottom head lights were connected to the acessory fuse and drew so much power it kept causing the fuse to blow
