I have a 2003 Honda Rubicon, my light fuse keeps blowing. When my bike is running if i pull start it will work fine, shift fine if i use eletric shif, but after about 2 min it wont shift anymore and in reverse it spits and spudders really bad. nothing works for light, not even the dash ot eletric start but the fan still works.

Check the tail light wires, they are the most prone to damage or water shorting them out.

Do the tail light wires short out even if the lights on the bike are not turned on?
