    Default 2013 RTS blowing 20amp fuse

    My 2013 RTS is blowing the 20 amp fuse that powers the factory ( I call them Driving lights ) lower set of lights. I haven't had this Spyder for a month yet and this is 2 times that this has happened. I leave the switch turned on all the time and I don't know if that's it or if there something else going on. Thanks in advance.

    There is a lot of stuff on that circuit.

    Fog lights. (You noticed that.)
    Horn
    Suspension compressor
    Heated grips, front and rear.

    Did you make any changes to any of these.

    Does the ride seem extremely stiff?
    1. Check fluids & tire pressures.
    2. Start bike.
    3. Hold on.
    4. Full throttle.
    5. Repeat 3-5.

    My 2013 kept blowing the 20 amp fuse. It was the suspension compressor. It was replaced under warranty. Problem solved.

    That's exactly where I was going. I had an issue where the adjustment arm for the compressor somehow got bent, and made it an incredibly stiff ride, and would run the compressor until it would blow the fuse....

    I'll check the compressor day but that might be the problem. I got a warning when I tried to use the compressor. Thanks

    Compressor was the cause on mine as well. Replaced with an aftermarket one, and solved the problem. Hopefully it will last a bit longer as well!
