Default Battery Fuse
I have a 2008 Rocker that has 3 miles on it, Yes "3" It was been setting around the Heartland USA shop for 6 top 7 years, Now I need it to Run.

Put New Battery in Bike and Key Fob. When I try to start and then put key in Off position - the Battery Fuse POP's

Any ideas? of why?

Have you tried the kill switch then turn off the key? If my memory is correct a Rocker has to have the key in the ignition right? My Deluxe all I need is the fob.

Yes the Key has to be in the Ign. Changed it on the Breakout.
Good question, I'll try that today. Thanks

I would try this, leave the key in the on position start it and then shut it off using the kill switch, leave the key on and try to restart it. Other then that sorry, I am out of ideas.

Food for thought, the fuse was good before you started tinkering with it?

I am not sure what fuse you are talking about cause if it is the 45 amp fuse from the battery than it is probably shorted out on the frame. You can chase that wire fairly easy cause it runs up the spine of the frame
