Sounds like a short somewere.

Maybe the wiring is wrong?

Maybe the bulb wasn;t in correctly and giggled causing it to blow?

your voltage rectifier is either unhooked or it is bad. it is the little silver box back by the CDI under the subframe. There should be a blue wire connected to this box and if it is then the voltage rectifier is probably bad.

If it is the voltage regulator I will give you one for free., I have one sitting on my shop floor

Thats what was up with my blaster. Thats a pretty common problem, they are a peice of $hit. I wish they made a better aftermarket one. With the blasters you can get a banshee one which is better b/c they are a little more heavy duty(persay).
