Friday evening went riding, rode for a good hour or so everything was fine. I went to take a short ride to the restroom (less than 100 yds away) and all of the sudden everything flickered and then just died out. Accompanying the problem I noticed the killswitch completely locked up. Once daylight hit took the killswitch apart to find it had shorted out and melted the plastic inside. Has anyone else had anything similar to this and if so what did you do to fix the situation? I have a new killswitch on the way to replace the obvious problem but was wondering could there be a bigger issue at hand. We tested with a voltage meter to make sure everything was still getting power from the battery and as far as we could tell it was. Any advice/info would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

I have a 2000 LT250 that I recently had to replace the key switch due to the loss of the original keys. Now I can see smoke coming from in front of the gas tank. I took the cover off from around the handlebars trying to see where it was coming from. I touched a small box that was so hot it actually burned my fingers. I disconnected the battery but I can't get to the box without taking off the rack and the front fender. My owners manual does not tell my what this is. It has 5 wires running to it (3 yellow, 1 brown & white and 1 red) it appears to be bolted to the frame in front of the gas tank just below the handlebars with 2 bolts. Can anyone help me with this? I added a couple of photos to show the item I"m talking about. Thanks in advance.
