so I accelerated from a stop and went full throttle in first...BOOOMM big backfire, afterward I looked down and my tach said 0RPMS...and the digital speedometer was off...HMM anyone have any idea what happened? Is it possible for a backfire to just blow a fuse or something?? or am i in bigger trouble than i thought? Haha Thanks guys

My bike 2000 Yamaha R6, 11k Miles..

maybe you blew your electronics insead...

I checked all the fuses that i could see under my seat, only one that i saw blown was the one labeled "signal" It was a blue 15 and I replaced it...started the engine..nothing worked, and it blew, heh

check the fuses under the cover on the left side of bike right near the left bar above the fairings

Ok thanks Ill have to check that out. I wasn't even aware that there were fuses down there. Thanks

ok well i found the rectifier and I took the plug out...it didnt look as bad as I expected...had a little blackness but almost seemed like it should still work... Heres my question...do you think this needs to be replaced?....and also...If I just buy a new rectifier....and I have some short somewhere...isnt it going to blow again? Dont fully understand all this wiring stuff...

r ur headlights out too?

 

[jpf566]

yup all my lights are out... and my instrument cluster. The bike does start and run though..

 

[jluna9657]

there is a big white connector on the left side of ur bike close to the back side of the headlights. Check that connector they get really corroded sometimes and short out there.
