30 amp fuse at starter silenoid

[footsie]

My bike failed to crank and what I found was the fuse on the side of the starter silenoid was corroded, more than likely from road salt from being ridden in north Ga.

What I did was removed the silenoid assem. removed the plastic peice that hold the fuse and the wiring harness plug, then pulled the metal prongs the fuse and plug mounts to out, the top peiced that bolts to the hot side of the silenoid I removed completely.

Bought a fused link ( heavy duty $3.99 at oriely's) soidered a electrical end on one end of the link, and the other end to the spot where the fuse plugged to the blades that the wiring plug connects to.

You have to grind some of the plastic away to put the blades back in.

But now my fuse is behind ths side cover, and easy to access.

 

I should have taken pictures but was in a hurry to get the bike running.

if anyone else is having this problem and wants to perform this fix let me know and I will try to draw a diagram, or come help if your close enough.
