Hi Ted,
Dielectric grease only protects from corrosion - I like Kopr-shield from
Eastwood better. It protects from corrosion and conducts electricity.
Especially useful on connectors, fuses, battery terminals, etc. but no
so good in the "snuffbox" switches where I still use dielectric grease.
A few things to try: use a Dremel (if you have one) to polish the tabs
that hold the fuses, use a product like Kopr-shield on the contact area,
use fuses with copper ends and use the little rubber bands meant for
braces (orthodontic?) around the fuse and holder to keep everything
snug. My $.02 worth...

I took out all the fuses and coated each end with a dab of di-lectric grease. Same for all the bullet connectors. But I got the same result a few miles into a ride stopped running. Removing the headlight "seemed" to fix it, but maybe just a coincidence. Using a standard sealed beam headlight and connector so don't *think* its too large. I need to put a tiny person in there while I ride who can observe things. --- guzzi-@aol.com wrote:
