Follow that wire. You will find a short. To make life easy take off all the plastics. You may find a few things to clean up at the same time. Maybe even a mouse nest. They chew on wire like its food

Don't serve the beer till After its fixed. You may wind up with "wheelie bars".
Try unpluging connectors until the fuses stop blowing (one at a time). That may narrow it down for you.

hi zombie , its a s8 4t , and in the uk ... must say thanks for the help , i only blew two fuses before i found the cdi was faulty , and that was because you had told me to unplug one at a time ... cheers mate ...you couldnt see the crack because of the rubber holder over it ...any more help would be great ...thanks..

That is the only one I could find. Yours is a DC fired cdi so it is less common. Perhaps Ebay UK or another local shop like SIP Scooter shop
