having a few electrical issues. couple of days ago a fuse blew for my signals. so i replaced it. yesterday bike had again blown a fuse. it has also killed my battery charge.

where shall i start looking for problems? seems quite odd that indicator fuse could drain the battery.

Looks like you have a short circuit somewhere. Youll have to trace the wires for the indicators and check for any breaks in the insulation.

Also check the condition of the bulb holders for signs of corrosion, faulty wires, Etc.
if you are still unable to find the problem check the connections inside the switch unit for corrosion or frayed wires.

It`s just a case of methodically checking, checking, checking.
