Driving down road doing about 25 MPH motorcycle stalled would not start again. Checked ignition fuse and found it to be blown. Replaced with new 15 amp fuse. Tried to start the bike again and the fuse blew right away. Inspected wiring harness and found a bunch of burnt wires. Ignition switch was hot to the touch. I only have 4694 miles on the bike. This can cause a serious accident do to the bike stalling out in traffic.
