2012 S10. Was in first gear and bike stalled without warning. Lights dim with ignition on but no fuel pump/ ignition activity. Cause = blown 20 amp ignition fuse. Replaced with spare and works fine. At home, ran all electronics including accessory lights and heated grips, manipulated/ bluntly vibrated all lights and wiring, checked major connections/ harnesses, no oxidation buildup. No stuttering or stalling. Any chance it was just a 9 yo fuse that gave in and blew? Thanks

You might be lucky, but I'm sure it would give you peace of mind to check that circuit (fuse 7) isn't pulling too much current, just to be on the safe side. If you don't have contact with any electricians, various sensibly priced DIY test devices are available, as I doubt you will want to spend 'Fluke' money.

Thanks Squibb. I’ll check the line current. I have an Ohm/amp/ volt meter. Not sure what the range should be on that line but will investigate.
