Ok sports, i just baught a gen 3 zx10r and about a week after taking it home the breaklight went out and got pulled over before i realised. I can change the fuse and it will work just fine untill i ride for a bit. Then it poppes randomly....
Any ideas or experiences?
Thanks

Welcome.

Yeah, we need a little more info than that. If the fuse pops, then you have an electrical problem. Obviously. The power is shorting to ground and drawing too much amperage through the fuse. That's not typical for that model of bike, so you need to troubleshoot the issue.

Is it the stock OEM taillight in there or has it been replaced to an aftermarket one? Do the turn signals work? Does the license plate light work? Have you unplugged it and checked the connector? Any obvious signs that the wiring is melting is certain spots? Any other issues with the bike?

Did the fuse pop (light discoloration) or blow up (heavy black discoloration)?
