Fuses
Warning
Always replace blown fuses with new
ones of the correct rating (as specified
on the fuse box cover) and never use a
fuse of higher rating.
Use of an incorrect fuse could lead
to an electrical problem, resulting in
motorcycle damage, loss of motorcycle
control and an accident.
Note
A blown fuse is indicated when all of the
systems protected by that fuse become
inoperative. When checking for a blown
fuse, use the table to establish which
fuse has blown.
The fuse box is located underneath the
seat.
