Not noticeable with helmet on, and when you start from cold it's fine, but rev it when warm and there's slight ticking/slight rattle right at bottom of rev range. Any idea's guys, not t...

Hi guys, hope someone can help, my ttr keeps blowing the 15amp fuse on top of the battery box, which then kills the engine. Change the fuse, bike starts, will do 100m, and fuse blows. Will tick over great, but soon as a bit of load.....fuse blows. Any idea's please? Thanks in advance, Steve.
