I think that the problem is caused by initial jolt from tenders is more than tiny fuse can handle. Since bigger fuse I've had no problems.

If the bike starts, u should have 12 volts at the pigtail end, if not bad fuse or pigtail.

If it is the $6.95 HD pigtail then it has an inline fuse. I like the HD pigtail as it is longer than most with heavier ga. wire.

Plus for a HD part that is a fair price.
