The Ultimate Solution
Hey Guys,
Don't know if any of you are still checking this thread, but I did have more problems. I rode from Urcos to Cusco with the headlight off, and while I was in Cusco I decided I needed to make sure everything was okay and rode with it on. Sure enough after about half an hour the fuse blew again. I was with some Peruvian bikers and they took me to Nicolas, who turned out to be one of those geniuses you come across when travelling. We spent half a day, stripping the bike to get at the wires, and Nicolas found the problem in a wire to the tail light. If any of you have electrical or electronic (like a BMW) problems in Cusco, Peru, call Nicolas, 984213031. I met one of his friends who told me Nicolas is the only guy in Peru who can "repair" a CDI. I didn't think that was possible, but he studied electronics, and said basic electrical problems are much easier. He's a very good guy who whistles while he works, oozing confidence. We are now good friends and will be riding bikes to Machu Picchu next week.
Steve.
