Pls. help me out.
I blew a fuse for the tail light. I swapped it out with a spare unused fuse
in the fuse block.
The shop manual calls for 25 AMP fuses across the board.
This seems high for some items,
Is there a recommended amp fuse for the different loads??

Thanks

Hello Hunter,
I was planning on trying a fuse block available from J.C.Whitney, part
no.03DY7115W described as an "Auxiliary Fuse Block" for $24.95.
"High-heat-resistant ABS plastic housing" with "clear Lexan cover." Holds
six
"blade" type fuses (as used on most all new cars) and has spade type
connectors. Check it out on their website @ www.jcwhitney.com and search
by the
part no. Better picture than in the catalog, no typos in the description
either.:-) Also, Moto International has one described as a "better
quality"
fuse panel for about $40 if I remember correctly. Cheers,

Charlie

Usually.....
The crispy critters are from the headlight circuit. In reality (where I
sometimes visit) anything on the bike that drew a high current for a
fairly
 long time would melt something. I have always admired the Italian Wiring
Credo:
May parts and wires die so that fuses may live!
Are wires plugged in to the melted terminals? If so their colors will
tell
 which they are. If they are indeed the usual suspects (lights) then they
would be brown. This would be the wire from the INT terminal of the
ignition switch to the fuse and then from the fuse to the headlight
switch.
 If your harness has been butchered (as have many) then it may take a
little
 detective work to find out.
Odds are, however, that it was the lights. It's on all the time and is
the
 biggest load on the bike.
The starter probably was not the culprit as it is run through a relay (I
hope) that lives just under the voltage regulator.
Now what the world needs is for someone to make some repro fuse holders
from a material with a melting point higher than a Hershey bar! I'd be
tickled pink.

Have a Happy!

 Any thoughts Hunter why the first 2 fuse holders were crispy? Those to
the starter? I'll do some research between shoveling and plowing for
the next few days here in NW CT.

Thanks again,
