bike died, started, died, started, died, started, died, started
You can usually just key on the bike and touch the breaker posts - the offending wire(s) will get a post hot fast. If not, start the bike and turn on radio, brights, blinkers and check again. Mine had several bad wire connections. I kept the circuit breaker because I didn't feel like carrying a spare maxi fuse.
If really bad they will blister you. The breaker trips from the heat created by the wires - not an electrical overload. When I replaced mine, I used an infrared temp gun before / after repair to compare - what a tremendous difference.

Yep, last I looked there was still a FAR requiring you to carry spare fuses, for each type used and replaceable in flight.
