Ulysses XB12XT
I have a dead short on the bike - blows the main 30A fuse!! Behind the airscoop on the left side are two connections for four black wires from the voltage regulator - one is find but the other is the culprit. The one nearest the back of the bike, as soon as I connect it the 30A fuse blows.
Anybody any ideas where my short is??
Cheers

Check the connectors in the rear drive pulley area for melted/shorted connectors .............not sure if it would cause your problem but those connectors are a known problem area on XB's.

This is so very common (pretty much standard) on 08 onwards bikes.......the stator harness chaffs on either the cylinder fins or the primary case behind the starter motor.
The fix is dead easy if you catch it soon enough ie. cable tie the harness to the subframe downtube and manipulate the rest of the cables out of harms way.
The other area to watch/fix on these bikes is where the engine harness comes off the cable tray by the rear rockerbox......Buell seem to have gone to a lot of trouble to redesign the harness routing on these bikes but attention to detail at the assembly line is/was very slack and lets the whole process down.....I've even seen a couple of stator harness' trapped behind the starter

Turns out to be a dead voltage regulator, new one ordered and it's a quick fix when that arrives. Cheers

Thanks for reporting back, helps everyone...
