2015 FE 450 Blown fuses

[scoot450R]

Got a issue fellas.  I blew a fuse in my 2015 FE 450 and replaced it but it immediately blew again.  Anyone have any ideas on why this is happening.  I suck with electrical issues, so any input would be appreciated.  Thanks.

I've heard about problems with the capacitor, may want to start there.

There's a problem w the capacitor/condenser/condensator and it's dangerous. Get in touch w your dealer asap!!!!!! Mine was replaced w an upgraded one.

[scoot450R]

Yep, that was it.  I swapped it out with my other Fe and off it went.  Thanks a lot.

[sparrino]

Yeah, but be careful the stock one will eventually blow. In my case it went just as I hit the face of a triple I could have gotten hurt real bad the bike just quit. Get the updated part asap it's made in Japan.

Is this gonna happen to my 2016 450 sxf?

Ring your dealer and ask them if your bike is part of the recall

[hillclimbin]

So there is a recall on the capacitor?

[mog]

Yes

[Xcel]

I think it is only the '15 FE's

And 16

does this affect the 2016 450 xc-f?

[mog]

I dint know what bikes are on the recall but your dealer will

[steve841]

No recall listed for US .....ugh

Thanks.  I had no idea about this recall.

does this affect the 2016 450 xc-f?

 

it looks like the sx-f and xc-f have the same part number listed. so i would assume this issue affects the xc-f as well

Called my dealer and he said bring them in to have the capacitor, and an updated bracket replaced. There was also a fuel line recall Not sure about the details on the fuel line. Taking them in Tuesday. I'll update after the repairs are made. On another note, thanks KTM for recognizing this issue and stepping up to fix the issues.

Hey, do you know which part number they replaced it with?  Any info on your receipt?
