Blown main fuse

Blown main fuse

Hi guys,

In a bit of bother:bag: About 2 months ago bike wouldnt start. New battery but not a jig out of it. No ignition lights etc. Pulled main fuse, it was blown. Replaced, turned on ingition, lights on ignition but no dims or heads. Tried starting and it popped again. I disconnected the rectifier and found burning on one core. Checked ohms on alternator, same across all 3 and not gone to earth. Bought second hand from breakers.

All good except for dims and heads. !5a had melted i should have said when initailly started investigating. Anyway went for a 10 min spin this morning and coming up to roundabout i changed into second and when excelerating it dropped power for a second and then took off. 500 m up the road it died altogether. Just home to get the trailer to collect it. Any ideas. Have the Manual for the bike so i reckon i may just trace wire by wire and check it all out.

Thanks in advance
