I have a 30 amp main fuse - keeps blowing - what does the fuse control so I can track it. Glass fuses were fitted to older British vehicles so may be a more authentic choice for installing on a classic motorcycle. The fuse is to protect the wiring loom, not the device itself. I keep spare fuses in the headlamp case. So in the continuing saga of my 81 Suzuki GL450L I have been making continuing improvements to the electrical. The wire harness ground is … But remember, the + and – are just a naming convention after all! The device is the Motogadget m.unit Blue.

Geoff also regularly visits custom bike events around the world as a special guest or media partner. Lesson learned! It blew first when I was about to take it out for a ride the other day, then when I replaced the fuse with the key out of the ignition it blew again. (try fuse in slot 1, then try to recreate the problem, if it doesn’t, remove that fuse, and try one in slot 2, etc etc.) Heat is caused by current passing through a resistance as you say, but no (properly selected) fuse should have any significant resistance.

Learn how your comment data is processed. Came across your article on fuse types, ratings, advantages and risks. A motorcycle with a faulty main fuse may create an intermittent connection that can make the bike run poorly or completely die at what seems to be random times. For a 12v system is 125v fine or is it too much? I mentioned earlier about the current drawn by the original Lucas Altette and Clearhooter type horns which are typically wired separately from the rest of the electrics with their own direct connection to the battery. These draw massive amounts of current compared to the other electrical components, so wiring the horn through the same fuse as everything else will mean you really need to over-rate the fuse. I’ve seen many people fix repeated fuse blow issues by installing larger tolerance fuses. Or maybe very thin wire in the leads of the fuse holder? Hello, my motorcycle keeps blowing a fuse.

Second, use the correct connectors and crimps when you do need to join a cable. That might be an important consideration if you’re or a similar vintage to your bike and your eyesight isn’t quite what it used to be. Common places you’ll find sharp edges or pinch points on motorcycles include: Having pinched or worn cables can result in a serious short leading to a fire or intermittent problems that disappear and reappear randomly. I think a device like that will have sufficient in-built circuit protection that the size fuse won’t actually make too much difference.

In order to work out which rating of main protection fuse you should fit to you motorbike you first need to work out the maximum electrical load that it is expected to draw with all the lights etc on at once. The speed refers to how quickly the fuse will blow once its rated current has been exceeded. There are also several different variants available including ‘mini’ (smaller), standard and ‘maxi’ (larger) sizes. Take the total in Watts and divide by 12 volts to give a worst case rating in Amps. Well there are lots of things on these bikes that wouldn’t be designed the same these days, that’s part of their charm after all. Show Less. However I have since bought some glass fuse holders which I think are more in-keeping with the style of the bike and I shall be fitting these instead when I eventually get around to rewiring. Your statement had me a little confused as you said you had power to main fuse and fuse is good but nothing after, but you want upstream fuse. This can be avoided however with some common sense and being aware of where problems may occur during assembly. Anything that is wired directly to the battery,by passing the main fuse, should have it’s own specific fuse rated accordingly to the maximum power draw required. Listed below are the 5 most common wiring mistakes I find myself fixing on people’s bikes, and a few lessons on avoiding them which I learned the hard way.”. Cheers Alan, good luck with rewiring your BSA and glad you found the MatchlessClueless website useful!
