Lighting/Alternator/Charging Circuit Monitor for Stelvio

[Boulder Ed]

I experienced battery dropping 12.4  then on down, form a bad /interemittant relay.  Once fixed, and also replaced the aux lights with aftermarket, and a new battery, things have been great for the next 5000 miles.  The voltmeter reads 14.4 or 14.3 with just low beam on, 14.1/14.2 with my Gerbing e jacket on, and 13.8 with high beams, aux LED lights gerbing and electric grips cranking.

Hi,

I went for a ride yesterday on a 2009 Stelvio. All good but 1.5 hours from home the bike started stumbling dash went nuts and I putted to a stop. I bought the bike new in 2014 as a left over, great deal, but thinking the battery was as old so I thumbed up to a NAPA dealer and bought a new battery. Installed. Bike fire right up but about half hour later same deal. So assume battery is drained and is a charging 'system' issue but reading in the forums could well be this fuse.

Sorry for the long preamble, but what causes the fuse to pop? I will check tomorrow and hope is the issue but do not want a repeat and have to carry 10 fuses with me. I have 10 watt LED aux lights so they are drawing limited power and have been on the bike with no issues for 6 months. Any advise would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
