Had not ridden my Tenere for a few weeks and no surprise, the battery was flat.

It bump started ok and I set off from SE London towards Oxford.

I had not noticed the headlamp was not working until it started to get dark and I pulled into a backstreet bike shop in Oxford.

The 20A fuse had blown, put in the spare, it blew. Put in a 30A fuse and the low beam bulb exploded. Swapped the bulb, works fine, so I rode home.

So, question.... Would bump starting the bike cause a surge that somehow damaged (shorted) the bulb then blow a fuse? or is there likely to be another fault somewhere waiting to err it's ugly head?
