TrouserSnake - The grips are wired into the back of the 12v power socket - the one that you can plug accessories into. Do you think that could be the problem? The guy in Spain who replaced the regulator mentioned something about the heated grips wiring and disconnected them - I've since reconnected them but haven't had a problem until now.

Another thing to consider here is who changes your tyres? Not all tyre fitters are mechanically minded so can over tighten the spindle nuts thus putting stress on the bearings.
If you're not sure take the wheels in and refit them yourselves so you know how they've been refitted :)

Boomer - you are a star. Just pulled the fuse holder/relay out and the main fuse has at some point melted! It's also blown but it's damaged the holder so I'll have to replace the lot. I had a regulator blow on me in Spain several years ago - I wonder if it overheated then and didn't blow - the garage replaced the regulator but said nothing about the main fuse.
Also I've had to put my heated grips on recently so that may also be an area for investigation. Anyway - many thanks :)

Any more developments on this fault? I had the same thing happen to me about a month ago. Mine's a 2007 model so its 6 years old this month. Has 35000 on the clock. Today on the way home from work the fault repeated itself only now I can't get the bike to turn on at all. Had to get recovered home. I put a new battery on in June so can't be a faulty battery. Today the fault was as above - had been riding along at about 30 mph - display went dark, hazard warning lights flashed but I could rev the engine. Stopped the bike and turned the key off - couldn't turn back on. Have checked the battery just now and connections were fine, had it on charge for about an hour but still no joy.

Anything fuse-wise I should check?
